Summary

Archived ambulance dispatch records from the CUREd database, collected by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service. Covers incidents across the Yorkshire and Humber region, with information on call types, resource deployment, and incident location.

Documentation

This dataset contains operational records from Yorkshire Ambulance Service’s 999 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. It includes information on call handling, triage outcomes, dispatch instructions, vehicle movements, and patient handovers, captured using the legacy CAD system in place at the time.

This dataset should only be used for studies covering ambulance contacts between April 2011 and March 2017. It differs structurally from later CAD extracts and may have less consistent coding. Researchers should not attempt to combine it with post-2017 data unless there is a clear justification and defined harmonisation plan.
