About

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data dashboard is the national public health surveillance platform for England and the United Kingdom. Replacing the legacy coronavirus dashboard, the modern UKHSA platform tracks respiratory infections including COVID-19, influenza, and RSV, providing programmatic access to testing metrics, healthcare admissions, bed occupancy, vaccination rates, and mortality through an open OpenAPI REST interface.

Through Fibric, an operator references regional British infectious disease indicators and hospital admission rates, proposing localized workforce shift adjustments, flexible working schedules, and ventilation inspections for facilities across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from UKHSA data dashboard and what it could propose, based on the publisher's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • Weekly laboratory testing numbers and positivity percentages for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV across English regions
  • Hospital and intensive care admissions and bed occupancy metrics for patients with respiratory viral infections
  • Vaccination uptake percentages across eligible population cohorts and geographic tiers
  • Regional and local authority level geographical breakdowns across standard UK statistical hierarchies
  • OpenAPI REST endpoints delivering JSON payloads without API keys at ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk

Proposed actions

Read-only. This feed informs operators; it changes nothing.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Adjust UK facility staffing during seasonal winter illness peaks

    Monitor regional NHS hospital admissions and positivity metrics, proposing proactive overtime scheduling and temporary agency shift coverage for British distribution centers.

    With Shift Coverage, Open Shift Offer

  • Trigger indoor air ventilation reviews during regional flu waves

    Track English regional influenza positivity rates, proposing increased mechanical air exchange rates and filter change reviews for high-density office properties.

    With CO2 Ventilation, Filter Change

Requirements

  • HTTP client capable of querying REST API endpoints with topic, metric, and geography query parameters
  • UK statistical geography crosswalk (ONS GSS codes) to map local authorities to corporate operating sites
  • Handling of ISO epidemiological week intervals and daily time-series records
Authentication
None. The UKHSA Data Dashboard API is openly accessible via standard HTTP GET requests without API keys, tokens, or registration.

Limits

  • Geographic resolution varies by metric; certain clinical indicators are reported at regional rather than local authority level
  • Routine surveillance reporting updates weekly on Thursdays rather than via streaming real-time alerts
  • Primary clinical coverage focuses on NHS England with select metrics covering the wider United Kingdom
