6 A Case for Syndromic Surveillance Detecting (re)emerging diseases Situational awareness during disasters & mass gatherings Timely and reliable health reporting Human and animal health data Surveillance of communicable & noncommunicable health threats Health care management and planning Surveillance of natural and man-made events Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences 6

7 Syndromic Surveillance Health surveillance using information generated prior to laboratory confirmed diagnoses to buy time Based on existing data sources, e.g., calls to NHS Direct, GP visits, pharmacy sales Emergency data one main source for syndromic surveillance t* * t = time between detection by syndromic (prediagnostic) surveillance and detection by traditional (diagnosis-based) surveillance Henning, K (2004): Overview of Syndromic Surveillance. What is Syndromic Surveillance? MMWR Supplement September 24, 2004 / 53(Suppl);5-11 Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences 7

9 Syndromic Surveillance in the UK One of the longest established syndromic surveillance system in Europe (since 1999) Data sources: NHS Direct/NHS 24, emergency departments, GP visits, unscheduled care, pilot: school absenteeism Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences 9

10 Syndromic Surveillance in the UK Used for various events with (potential) public health impact Usefulness especially during unexpected events for which no other information is rapidly available (situational awareness) Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences 10
