NHS Data Resources

NHS data, payment and reporting resources

A practical collection of official NHS guidance, reference material and published data for people working with commissioning, income, reporting and healthcare data.

We highlight important changes first, then provide direct links to the source material used most often in NHS data and commissioning work.

Changes to know about

Changes affecting income and reporting

Items with a practical impact on payment, grouping, reporting or data flows. This section is intended as a quick pointer to the official source rather than a replacement for the published guidance.

Official guidance & data

Useful NHS links

Search or filter the resource library. External links open the official NHS source in a new tab.

About downloads: links on this page point to official NHS publications and public downloads. Patient-level or restricted data access remains subject to the relevant NHS access and information-governance arrangements.
From reference material to usable data

Need NHS reference data ready for SQL and analytics?

Official workbooks and reference files are essential, but they are not always convenient to integrate into operational reporting. Gecko Bridge is designed to hold governed, versioned NHS reference data in structures that can be used directly by SQL Server, SSIS, Power BI and commissioning workflows.

The free Resources page will continue to link to the official source. Structured, versioned and implementation-ready reference data remains part of the Gecko Bridge proposition.
