Shaping your decision making

SHAPE is an online, interactive, data mapping, analysis and insight tool that supports service planning and estates strategy development.

Supported by the Department of Health and Social Care, SHAPE is a web enabled, evidence based application that informs and supports the strategic planning of services and assets across the public sector. The primary aim of the application is to facilitate scenario planning and option appraisals in support of public services. Its analytical and presentation features can help service commissioners to determine the service configuration that provides the most affordable access to services. The demographic and service data, combined with the information on estates location and performance, is also used to support estates strategy and business case development.

SHAPE Place

Free to use for the NHS, SHAPE Place is an interactive application that helps you assess the optimum location for services and the impact of service reconfiguration on populations.

Maximise your vaccination uptake

SHAPE’s the ideal tool for making sure you get the most out of your winter vaccination campaigns.

Map your vaccine uptake against GP practice areas, and break it down by cohorts or demographic information to find out which areas are falling behind target, so you can focus your efforts where they’re needed most.

A one-stop-shop for estates data

When you’re writing an estates or infrastructure strategy, you need to compile a lot of information – this can be a lengthy job for just one building, let alone a whole estate.

Discover how Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB worked with SHAPE to produce a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all their estates information.
