Last updated on Thursday, 13 March 2025 at 04:00pm
Syndromic surveillance is the process of collecting, analysing and interpreting health-related data to provide an early warning of health threats.
The data presented on this page are taken from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) emergency department syndromic surveillance system. This system monitors the daily visits in emergency departments across England.
You can use these data to:
- see current trends and levels compared to historical baselines
- compare the trends between different age groups and areas
You cannot use these data to:
- estimate total burden or number of ‘cases’ of a condition
- compare levels between age groups or areas
