What this tells you · This reads across QOF registers + achievement, the recorded-vs-expected case-finding gap (Fingertips modelled prevalence), upstream risk factors and small-area health for Tower Hamlets — benchmarked against NORTH EAST LONDON. Each panel is drawn only from data we hold at this grain.
Seasonal flu vaccine uptake is published at ICB grain (UKHSA), so it is shown for NHS NORTH EAST LONDON INTEGRATED CARE BOARD (ICB).
Learning-disability annual-health-check coverage is published at England / SICBL grain only, so it is shown at England grain.

Dementia — recorded register & care planning

●Your boroughPrimary Care Dementia

Recorded dementia register prevalence among the registered 65+ (registration-based, vs the nearest-parent benchmark), and how much of the register has a care plan and a medication review. The official modelled diagnosis-rate-vs-expected is shown for context — it is published only at sub-ICB and above.

Tower HamletsNORTH EAST LONDON
Recorded dementia (65+)4.30% / 3.71%

1,027 people aged 65+ on the dementia register. Official modelled 65+ estimated diagnosis rate 63.6% at ICB grain (NHS NORTH EAST LONDON INTEGRATED CARE BOARD). This is the recorded register vs the registered list — not the modelled diagnosis-rate-vs-expected.

Medication review

Severe Mental Illness — physical health checks

●Your boroughPHSMI (experimental)

The percentage of the SMI register who received all six annual physical-health checks (vs the nearest-parent benchmark), and coverage of each of the six elements. Experimental NHS statistic (PHSMI) over a rolling 12-month window — sub-ICB submission completeness varies, so practices that did not submit are absent.

Tower HamletsNORTH EAST LONDON
All six checks69.7% / 69.5%

4,335 people on the SMI register. 10.5% received none of the six checks. Every coverage figure is the recorded count ÷ the SMI register — best-effort over submitted practices.

Case-finding gap (expected − recorded)

○Modelled · ICB+EnglandFingertips − QOF

How many more people we'd expect to have each condition than are on the register. Longer orange bars = more people likely living undiagnosed. The expected prevalence is a Fingertips MODELLED estimate published at ICB / England grain, not your practice's own count.

Recorded vs expected prevalence

○Modelled · ICB+EnglandQOF vs modelled

Two bars per condition: what's on the register (blue) against what we'd expect (orange). The bigger the orange overhang, the bigger the find opportunity. The expected is the Fingertips modelled (ICB / England) figure, not practice-level.

The upstream drivers of long-term conditions, compared with the nearest-parent benchmark. Higher bars mean this population carries more of that risk.

Seasonal flu vaccine uptake

Flu vaccine coverage among the eligible GP cohorts — aged 65+ (the headline), under-65 in a clinical at-risk group, and pregnant women — against the nearest-parent benchmark. UKHSA publishes this at ICB grain (not GP practice), so figures are shown at the scope's nearest published grain; in-season figures are provisional.

Prevalence vs deprivation gradient

○Catchment-weighted · LSOAQOF × IoD2025

Each dot is a practice: its patients' deprivation (x) against recorded diabetes prevalence (y). A rising line means disease concentrates in more-deprived areas.

2.86.39.9112641IMD 2019 score — more deprived →Diabetes prevalence (%) →

Across this borough’s 30 practices, more-deprived practices have a higher recorded diabetes prevalence — a strong positive relationship (r = 0.79, n = 30).
