Assess ED attendances in infants (0–1) pre/post Sept 2024; measure RSV‑related cases; analyse trends and seasonality; identify demographic/geographic variation; inform local planning, commissioning, and prevention

Public benefit statement

In addition to direct public benefit, this project will deliver professional, academic and organisational benefits. It will strengthen local analytical and evaluation capability by developing expertise in identifying and assessing the real-world impact of vaccination programmes using routine health data. The findings can be shared internally to support learning across public health, commissioning and NHS partners, and may contribute to wider academic or professional discussions on vaccine effectiveness and urgent care demand. Organisationally, the work will support evidence-based decision-making, improve use of linked system-wide Version 1.5 – October 2025 Page 7 of 28 data such as WSIC, and help benchmark local performance against national policy intentions, strengthening future service evaluations and commissioning processes.
