SRHAD Information Standard for 2017 published and changes made to NHS Statistics on SRH Services’ format

The latest version of the SRHAD Information Standard was released on 29 June 2017. This publication underpins the earlier release of staff guidance in the annual SRHAD data collection.

The updated SRHAD Information Standard introduces minor amendments to data items to align with the NHS Data Model and Dictionary, confirmation of annual submission and clarification of coverage in general practice settings.

The Contraceptive and Reproductive Health Data Advisory Group have also advised that the format of their NHS Digital SRH services publication will be changing from 2016/17. The final pack will include relevant introductions for each section and will be published alongside the usual Excel tables and other relevant documentation. The publication will cover similar material to that contained in previous reports and will be approximately 20 pages in length. An example of this format can be found below (please note that this example does not include data from 2016/17).
