TwitterThe UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) weekly all-cause mortality surveillance helps to detect and report significant weekly excess mortality (deaths) above normal seasonal levels. This report does not assess general trends in death rates or link excess death figures to particular factors.
Excess mortality is defined as a significant number of deaths reported over that expected for a given week in the year, allowing for weekly variation in the number of deaths. UKHSA investigates any spikes seen which may inform public health actions.
Reports are currently published weekly. In previous years, reports ran from October to September. Since 2021, reports run from mid-July to mid-July each year. This change is to align with the reports for the National flu and COVID-19 weekly surveillance report.

This publication of the SHMI relates to discharges in the reporting period March 2023 - February 2024. The SHMI is the ratio between the actual number of patients who die following hospitalisation at the trust and the number that would be expected to die on the basis of average England figures, given the characteristics of the patients treated there. The SHMI covers patients admitted to hospitals in England who died either while in hospital or within 30 days of being discharged. To help users of the data understand the SHMI, trusts have been categorised into bandings indicating whether a trust's SHMI is 'higher than expected', 'as expected' or 'lower than expected'. For any given number of expected deaths, a range of observed deaths is considered to be 'as expected'. If the observed number of deaths falls outside of this range, the trust in question is considered to have a higher or lower SHMI than expected. The expected number of deaths is a statistical construct and is not a count of patients. The difference between the number of observed deaths and the number of expected deaths cannot be interpreted as the number of avoidable deaths or excess deaths for the trust. The SHMI is not a measure of quality of care. A higher than expected number of deaths should not immediately be interpreted as indicating poor performance and instead should be viewed as a 'smoke alarm' which requires further investigation. Similarly, an 'as expected' or 'lower than expected' SHMI should not immediately be interpreted as indicating satisfactory or good performance. Trusts may be located at multiple sites and may be responsible for 1 or more hospitals. A breakdown of the data by site of treatment is also provided, as well as a breakdown of the data by diagnosis group. Further background information and supporting documents, including information on how to interpret the SHMI, are available on the SHMI homepage (see Related Links).

The second data set are regional monthly deaths by age and cause for England. The data is broken in to 4 to 5 week periods and the data cover deaths from 4 April 2020 to 7 January 2022.
The third data set is a supplement to the tool. The workbook contains estimates of excess deaths for 3 broad age groups (0 to 49, 50 to 74, 75 and over or 0 to 44, 45 to 74, 75 and over) for other dimensions of inequality reported within the tool. These include by regions, ethnic groups, deprivation quintile, place of death and causes of death. Data are reported for 9 periods of grouped weeks, from March 2020 to June 2022, which reflect different periods of the pandemic.

The Excess Winter Mortality Index (EWD Index) shows excess winter deaths as a Percentage Ratio of the number of deaths expected in the (eight) warmer months either side of Winter (01 December to 31 March). So the data’s yearly time period is from 01 August to 31 July the following year. In other words, EWD is the ratio of extra deaths from all causes during the winter months compared to average non-winter deaths. The EWD Index is partly dependent on the proportion of Older People in the population, as most excess winter deaths affect Older People. This indicator covers all ages, but there is no standardisation in its calculation by age or any other factor. So figures for an area can be influenced for example by the proportion of Older People. This dataset is updated annually. Source: Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF), indicator 90360 / E14. Age breakouts, confidence intervals and metadata are shown on the PHE (PHOF) site. Note: Please be advised that the ONS currently has this dataset under consultation for review (as of 09/01/2025) so may not be updated annually until the review has concluded. The full notice can be found on the ONS link for the Winter Mortality publication - please see link in the Additional Information Section.

TwitterThe dataset consists of quantitative data derived mainly from international datasets (ILO, WHO), supplemented by data from national datasets and modelled data to complete missing values. It shows the statistical data we collated and used to calculate estimates of Covid-19 deaths among migrant health care workers and includes details on how missing information was imputed. It includes spreadsheet estimates for India, Nigeria, Mexico, and the UK for excess and reported Covid-19 deaths amongst foreign-born workers and for all workers in the human health and social work sector and in three specific health occupations: doctors, nurses, and midwives. For each group the spreadsheets provide a basic estimate and an age-sex standardised estimate.
This project aims to give proper attention to the place of migrant workers in health care systems during the Covid-19 pandemic. Migrant workers are of substantial and growing significance in many countries' health and care systems and are key to realising the global goal of universal health care, so it is vital that we understand much better how Covid-19 is impacting on them.
The project's overarching research questions are, in the relation to Covid-19, what risks do migrant health care workers experience, what are the pressures on resilient and sustainable health care workforces, and how are stakeholders responding to these risks and pressures?
We develop a research method to estimate Covid-19 migrant health care worker mortality rates and trial the method, undertaking statistical analysis and modelling using quantitative data drawn from WHO and OECD data and other demographic and bio-statistical data as available.
In addition to strengthening the methodological techniques and empirical evidence base on the risks of Covid-19 infection and death among migrant health care workers our project also tracks, through documentary analysis, collective responses to such risks and challenges to sustainable health workforces for universal health coverage.
This project is attuned to the urgent need for high quality data and for 'real world' solutions-focused Covid-19 research forged from collaboration. We are focused on the immediate application of proof-of concept findings to a rapidly-evolving global health crisis.

Bathing facilities and health phronesis: tackling English obesity. Mixed methods sequential research in five phases.
Research questions and hypotheses
• RQ1: Does the geospatial distribution of swimming facilities impact health? (Nomothetic). (H10: Pools is insignificant vs. H1A: Pools is significant)
• RQ2: Is the construction of swimming pools adequate for national health need? (Nomothetic). (H20: Forecast pool construction stable vs. H2A: Forecast pool construction increases)
• RQ3: What policy learning emerges from idiosyncratic cases? (Idiographic & qualitative)
Approach
After problematisation (1) and structured literature review (2), the study conducted cross-sectional analysis of excess mortality and swimming pools (3a & 3b) and longitudinal analysis of pool construction (3c-e). Cross-sectional investigation involved factor analysis (3a) to explore and regression to analysis (3b) to investigate English mortality and its covariates (3b). The For the time series analysis, the study analysed 120 years of English pool construction data using autoregressive distributed lag models - ARIMA (3c), ADL (3d) and ECM (3e).

This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75) from Cardiovascular Disease, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages. Cardiovascular Disease include heart diseases and stroke, and others. Socio-economic and lifestyle factors are associated with circulatory disease deaths and inequalities in circulatory disease rates. Modifiable risk factors include smoking, excess weight, diet, and physical inactivity. Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data, where numbers are sufficient, so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates. A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death. Data source: NHS Digital (now part of NHS England) Compendium hub, dataset unique identifier P00395. This data is updated annually. Note: Compendium Mortality Consultation 2022 NHS Digital is currently analysing the results of the consultation that closed on 14 September 2022.
