Alcohol related ambulance pick-ups and pubs and clubs in Home Office priority areas in the East Midlands. Briefing paper.In order to explore the contribution that ambulance data can make to the alcohol harm reduction agenda, East Midlands Public Health Observatory have developed a methodology to identify which calls to the ambulance service are likely to be alcohol-related. Whether alcohol is related to a call-out is not currently routinely recorded by the ambulance service.
Based on a regional survey of A&E, Minor Injuries and Walk-In Centres the conditions which were most likely to be alcohol related were found to be assault, self-harm, falls, road traffic
accidents and unconsciousness.
Pick-ups for these conditions for all individuals between the hours of 9pm and 6am have been mapped against pubs and clubs for Home Office priority areas in the East Midlands in 2007/08. This illustrates geographically where the majority of alcohol-related ambulance pick-ups occur, with the largest red circle indicating more than 50 ambulance pick-ups within 100 metres over the year.
There are nine Home Office priority areas within the East Midlands, which are: Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Bolsover, Corby, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Mansfield and Nottingham. Maps for
these districts are provided below.
