Pediatric staff information and evidence library (2023)

Introducing our contributor maps and charts

Using publicly available data and data collected by the Faculty, the following interactive maps and charts provide information on the child population covered by health, pediatric and emergency hospital care, as well as NHS Trust or Health Board and Community Trust in England.

We try to keep the data as up-to-date as possible, however, due to the wide variety of sources and different publication dates, this is not always the case. Major updates will be done quarterly.

The next update is scheduled for September 2023 and will include:

• Number of pediatric consultants and their full-time equivalent in England, Scotland and Wales
• Community wait time
• New admission data
• Data on the vacancy rate

We are expanding the information on this page and send us your comments about what you might find useful - contact ustrabalho@rcpch.ac.uk.

All data on hospital admissions and emergency admissions comes from NHS Digital Hospital Ward statistics.

Bed occupancy

It should be noted that due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021. it was necessary to reorganize hospital capacities, due to the different distribution of staff and beds compared to previous years. Therefore, caution is advised when comparing data for 2020-21. with previous publications from all countries.

England

The bed data in the section below is taken from the Urgent and Acute Care Daily Reports - Intensive Care and General and Acute Care Beds, which collects data from emergency funds and includes information on the availability of general and acute care beds for adults and children, pediatric intensive care beds and intensive care beds for newborns.

The following figures show this data in the form of heat maps for general and pediatric acute beds, pediatric intensive care and neonatal intensive care. Hovering the mouse over each region will show the number of available beds and the percentage of occupied beds.

Number of beds: decentralized countries

For the devolved countries of the United Kingdom, public authorities in each country have made available data by specialty, for both occupied and vacant beds.

The maps below show the percentage of occupied pediatric beds by quarter in the form of a heat map. Hovering over each region will display a tooltip with the percentage and number of available beds and the number of occupied pediatric beds.
