Accessing HES

The HES publications focus on headline information about hospital activity. Each annual publication includes a series of national tables and also provider-level breakdowns for some main areas.

All data items included in the published tables are explained in footnotes, and NHS England publish data dictionaries for HES describing the format and possible values for all HES data items. 

These data are also accessible via an online interrogation service (for NHS users) or via our bespoke extract service Data Access Request Service (DARS).
