Give examples of categories of demographics which are valuable in care
A detailed information of an individual include:

why are demographics important
- Help CCGs (Clinical Commissioning Groups) to work out what issues there are in the local area.
- Enable CCGs to focus on current local issues – support groups, interventions
(vaccinations or awareness campaigns). - Educate population of health issues. For example, if there is a high local number of
individuals smoking they can offer smoking cessation groups. - Finding out what individuals die of can result in education to prevent issues.
- Enable CCGs and local authorities and health boards work together to plan for
population levels and their needs over coming years. For example, a high birth rate
means needing to plan for more nurseries and school places, more GP, and health
visitors to support families.
