What's new

Last updated on Thursday, 13 February 2025 at 08:35pm

We regularly update the dashboard with new data and features. Here we'll show a timeline of changes that have happened outside of the weekly data refresh.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: Norovirus data added

      Data showing the weekly number of confirmed norovirus cases is now available on the UKHSA data dashboard.

      Data is presented for the 2025/26 season and the current 2026/27 season and compared with a historical average. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      UKHSA monitors norovirus activity and the strains that are circulating in England. This helps identify new or unusual strains quickly. It also helps to understand trends and take action to reduce the spread of norovirus.

    • Entry category: Change to metric
      Entry title: Changes to mpox methodology

      Reporting of mpox cases on the UKHSA data dashboard has been updated. Cases are now classified as clade Ib, clade IIb or clade not yet known. Summary figures are presented for each clade category and UK nation.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: Mycoplasma pneumoniae data added

      Data showing the monthly number of positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae tests is now available on the UKHSA data dashboard.

      The time series goes back to March 2013 and is also disaggregated by age groups. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      The data helps monitor trends in England, identify which age groups are most affected, and support public health and healthcare planning.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: HIV data added

      Data showing new and late annual HIV diagnoses is now available on the UKHSA data dashboard.

      This includes the absolute number of new diagnoses, the rate per 100,000 population, as well as the count and proportion of late diagnoses among population groups. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      The data helps track progress towards the aim of ending HIV transmission in England.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: Transfusion safety data added

      Data showing investigated and confirmed Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTI) is now available on the UKHSA data dashboard.

      This includes both the number of transfusion episodes investigated, as well as laboratory-confirmed bacterial and non-bacterial infections. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      The data helps inform and assess policies that protect people who receive blood transfusions.

    • Entry category: New Feature
      Entry title: Updated landing page

      We have updated the look and feel of our landing page. The landing page now features a Popular Topics section and a complete list of Health Topics that can be filtered and searched.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: Antimicrobial consumption data for England added

      Data showing rates of antimicrobial consumption in England is now available on the UKHSA data dashboard.

      This includes monthly consumption rates in both primary and secondary care settings, as well as data on prescribing by antibiotic categories. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      Antibiotic prescribing and antibiotic resistance are inextricably linked, as overuse and incorrect use of antibiotics are major drivers of resistance.

    • Entry category: New metric
      Entry title: Lyme disease data for England added

      Data showing rates of Lyme disease infection in England is now available as part of the vector-borne diseases theme.

      This includes the number of confirmed cases in laboratories in England per 100,000 population disaggregated by age and sex. More information can be found in the metrics documentation.

      Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. If diagnosed early, it is highly treatable with antibiotics, but can lead to severe issues if left untreated.

    • Entry category: New Feature
      Entry title: Time series selector

      The time series selector will make it easier to compare trends in data over longer periods of time. This feature will first be available for COVID-19, Influenza, RSV and Other respiratory viruses before being added for other topics in the future.
