Description

This dataset was developed with the aim of simulating realistic interactions between users and virtual health assistants based on generative AI, promoting access to trusted information in the context of the UK public health system (NHS).

Context

This set of dice was created as part of the Gen AI Intensive Course Capstone 2025Q1 competition, promoted on Kaggle. It brings together 500 synthetic entries in a question and answer (Q&A) format, focusing on the UK National Health System (NHS). The information generated by AI in a safe and controlled environment, free of personal or clinical data.

The purpose is to support the development and training of language models and conversational agents focused on health, enabling ethical and safe testing in educational or research environments.

The topics addressed include:

• Primary and triage care
• Common medical conditions
• Addressing within the NHS
• Public policies and clinical guidelines
• Education and prevention in health

In 2023, the number of allied health professionals in the National Health Service (NHS) increased from 2009 to 2023, reaching a total of over 88 thousand full-time equivalent employees in November of the latest year. This statistic shows the total number of allied health professionals in the NHS Hospitals and Community Health Services (HCHS) workforce in England from 2009 to 2023, as of November of each year.

The tables provide data for adults (defined as people aged 16 and over).

In 2023, a survey in the UK revealed the problem which was causing the most dissatisfaction among users of the NHS was the length of time it takes to get a GP or hospital appointment with 71 percent of respondents choosing this reason. A further 54 percent of responses mentioned the lack of NHS staff as a reason for their dissatisfaction with NHS. Waiting times increasing In every month in 2023 in England, less than 60 percent of patients who attended an A&E department were seen within four hours. This is well below the NHS’s target that 95 percent of attendees to A&E should be seen within four hours. Since 2011, the share of patients seen within four hours has been declining. In addition, since 2016 there has been an overall marked increase in examples of patients waiting for more than twelve hours at A&E to be admitted, with a slight decline on the previous two years.  Increased strain on General Practices The average number of patients per GP practice in the UK has been increasing over the last ten years, a possible reason for increased waiting times and the perceived lack of NHS staff. In 2008, there were under 6.4 thousand patients per practice in the UK, by 2017 this had increased to over 7.6 thousand per general practice.
