NHS England have collected national data from NHS providers for their physiological science services, with the output being shared in an interactive power BI dashboard. Following feedback received, for the second cycle of collections they have developed a new and improved singular dashboard which allows users to view all disciplines in one place. 

So far, we have collected round 2 data for cardiac science, respiratory and sleep, vascular sciences and neurophysiology and we are now able to share the first release of the dashboard.  This release includes data on referrals, activity, waiting lists and workforce. Please note a second release is planned for April/May 2025 which will include additional tabs covering the other sections in the collections.

The newly published dashboard can be accessed from here – National Physiological Science Data Collection Dashboard

If you have issues with accessing the dashboard, or if any error messages appear on screen, please firstly contact your local IT administrator to ensure that the free PowerBI licence is enabled.

A webinar session on Tuesday 18^th March between 2:00-3:00pm will offer further details about the functionality and how to navigate around the dashboards.   

If you haven’t received an invite to attend this session, but would like to join, please complete this form before Friday 14^th March – Webinar registration form. 

Please note, invite numbers are limited but this event will be recorded and uploaded to the Physiological Science Programme - FutureNHS Collaboration Platform

Clinical Applications of Electrophysiology: Genotype-phenotype Correlations and Case-based Examples.  Co-organisers: Omar Mahroo and Anthony Robson

Register here:  REGISTRATION

Date and time: Tuesday, 4 March 2025, 1pm.  

Speakers include; Anthony Robson: Teenage cavities, Magella Neveu: Signal failure down the line…  Dorothy Thompson: Paediatric electrophysiology, Gordon Plant: Visual electrophysiology in neurology, Omar Mahroo: Interactive Retinal Cases 

In this session, insights from applications of electrophysiology in the clinical context will be discussed. These will include genotype-phenotype correlations in rare inherited eye diseases (of increasing importance in the era of new therapies) and case-based examples of clinical diagnostic dilemmas wherein electrophysiological tests were instrumental in securing the diagnosis.
