UK Asthma Hospitalisation Dashboard
This open-access dashboard is the first UK-wide platform to view and compare data for asthma hospital admissions. Data can be seen for the UK as a whole, each of the four nations, and individual health boards or trusts.

Asthma and Lung ICS respiratory review
The Life with a Lung Condition survey is Asthma + Lung UK’s annual survey for all those living with a lung condition. It covers diagnosis, health, symptoms, care provision, self-management and air pollution. Results are presented at regional level.

NHSE Federated Data Platform
The NHS Federated Data Platform connects vital health information across the NHS, helping staff deliver better care for patients and work more efficiently.

European Respiratory Society – STANDOUT
STANdardisation of respiratory Definitions and OUTcomes using Real World Data Project (STANDOUT) is a Clinical Research Collaboration supported by the European Respiratory Society.

National Respiratory Audit Programme
The audit programme has been commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) and currently covers England and Wales.

DHSC - Fingertips – Respiratory Disease

“Extracting, organising and linking national respiratory data is a key step needed to facilitate research and to evaluate the impact of innovations. The Respiratory Data Science Catalyst is a key step towards improving respiratory care in the future. I am excited to be part of the conversation about how we can use data in the future for the benefit of our patients.”
Mark Juniper, Chair of Respiratory Working Group for the national Health Innovation Network
