Supporting primary care through population growth
York is growing rapidly, and the existing general practice estate doesn’t have the capacity to deliver for a much bigger population. Find out how NHS Property Services used SHAPE to support the development of an infrastructure delivery plan to respond to the growth in housing developments.

Find out more about improving your blood pressure check performance.
Updated Pharmacy Contraception Services now in SHAPE

Plan your autumn COVID vaccination campaign
Autumn vaccination campaigns aren’t far away, and we’ll be updating our COVID-19 data in SHAPE at the start of September, giving you all the information you need to improve your campaign performance.
Additional ICS-level estates and occupancy data coming to SHAPE
The SHAPE team is working with NHS England and Community Health Partnerships (CHP) to add even more comprehensive information about the country’s healthcare estate to the platform.
SHAPE Plus – for the private sector
Data mapping and analysis is critical to organisational strategy. But often, data is in disparate sources, making timely, data driven decisions difficult. SHAPE combines and overlays hundreds of datasets from over 40 sources in an easy-to-use, geospatial mapping system.
With increasing demand in how the platform can be utilised to support data driven decision making, we’re introducing a new subscription service called SHAPE Plus, an interactive mapping and analysis application for the private sector.
