| # UKHSA Dashboard — England flu / COVID-19 / RSV weekly | |
| Three pathogens, one wide-by-metric table keyed by (date, condition). UKHSA's | |
| daily COVID-only metrics (admissions/day, cases/day, occupied beds/day, ONS | |
| deaths/day) are intentionally excluded — they don't share units with the | |
| flu/RSV weekly per-100k rates and would belong in a sibling | |
| `ukhsa-covid-daily` source. England-only; NHS regions / devolved nations | |
| reachable through the same API by varying `geography_types` and `geographies`. | |
| **Source:** <https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/> | |
| ## Coverage | |
| - **Time:** 2015-06-29 → 2026-04-18 | |
| - **Cadence:** `weekly` (observed median spacing: 5 days) | |
| - **Geography levels:** `subnational-state` — 1 unique location IDs | |
| - **Countries:** GB | |
| - **Pathogens:** `influenza`, `sars-cov-2`, `rsv` | |
| - **Surveillance category:** `respiratory` | |
| - **Rows:** 1,346 | |
| ## Columns | |
| | Column | Unit | value_type | Aggregation | Description | | |
| |--------|------|------------|-------------|-------------| | |
| | `positivity` | percent (0-100) | `proportion` | `rate` | Share of specimens positive for the condition, weekly. Flu and RSV | |
| values are direct weekly counts; COVID is the 7-day-rolling daily | |
| series resampled to Saturday week-end (see caveat). | |
| | | |
| | `admission_rate` | per 100k population | `rate` | `rate` | Weekly hospital admission rate per 100k. Flu + RSV only; COVID NaN. | | |
| | `icu_admission_rate` | per 100k population | `rate` | `rate` | Weekly ICU/HDU admission rate per 100k. Flu only. | | |
| | `ili_survey_rate` | per 100k population | `rate` | `rate` | Weekly ILI cases per 100k from the UKHSA primary-care symptom survey. | |
| Flu only (it's an ILI-survey measurement; the syndrome is reported | |
| under the influenza topic on UKHSA's side). | |
| | | |
| | `survey_participants` | respondents/week | `incident` | `sum` | ILI survey weekly participant count (denominator-quality indicator). Flu only. | | |
| ### Additional data columns | |
| - **`condition_native`** — UKHSA topic name (`Influenza`, `COVID-19`, `RSV`). | |
| - **`location_name`** — Always 'England' for this v0.1 ingest. NHS regions and devolved nations would be separate sources. | |
| ## Interpretation caveats | |
| Things that may differ from how other sources define a similar measure. If you're combining this dataset with another, read these first. | |
| - **`positivity`** — COVID positivity comes from `COVID-19_testing_positivity7DayRolling` — a daily | |
| 7-day-rolling number — resampled to Saturday week-end. Flu and RSV positivity | |
| are direct weekly observations. The unit is the same (%) but the smoothing | |
| upstream is different; treat the COVID column as smoother by construction. | |
| - **`ili_survey_rate`** — Self-reported ILI survey, not lab-confirmed. Useful as a covariate for the | |
| flu-related rows but not a target. | |
| - **`admission_rate`** — Source-published per-100k weekly rate. UKHSA's denominator population is | |
| England-resident and updates annually; rates across multi-year boundaries | |
| carry small denominator drift. | |
| ## Access | |
| - **Availability:** `open` | |
| - **Access type:** `api` | |
| - **License:** other | |
| - **Tier:** 2 | |
