Assess health needs
Use P² People & Places to understand the characteristics of existing patients and identify where people who are likely to develop similar health problems live, so you can tailor your funding and services to the needs of the local population.
Assess variation in healthcare needs
The North West Public Health Observatory (NWPHO) uses P² People & Places in a portfolio of analyses to enhance the ability to communicate public health intelligence to a wide range of audiences.
P² was first used in Where Wealth Means Health: Illustrating Inequality in the North West, where they used P² to identify areas that are likely to experience health problems, such as mental health and alcohol specific conditions.
Now, P² is incorporated into a Health Profiler which is regularly updated with a wide range of health indicators for generating local health profiles. Using this knowledge, they provided guidance on where to target health improvement resources and how to monitor trends in health inequalities.
Tackle public health inequalities
Warrington Primary Care Trust uses P² People & Places to drill down and better understand their population in order to ensure that the appropriate services and interventions are in place to reduce health inequalities.
P² has helped them with a smoking cessation equity audit, a diabetes health needs assessment and has been used to inform a social marketing campaign around obesity amongst women living in deprived areas.
Tracy Flute, Public Health Intelligence Manager at the PCT says “P² People & Places provides a very useful additional dimension to various public health analyses in the PCT. The P² team have been very helpful in getting us started with the data and have responded promptly and efficiently to any queries we have had.”
