Accident and Emergency Department Data – All Wales Injury Surveillance Systems (AWISS)

The All Wales Injury Surveillance System (AWISS) is funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to collect information on all injured people attending A & E departments across Wales in order to support research into the targeting and evaluation of injury prevention initiatives. AWISS does not yet cover all of Wales. The Minister with Responsibility for Older People announced in an Assembly debate on 4th May 2005 that the Welsh Assembly Government would take steps to ensure that all hospitals in Wales supplied data to AWISS. click for quote

The data are checked for duplicates and errors in Health Solutions Wales before being anonymised and made available to the AWISS analysts. Professor Ronan Lyons, Professor of Public Health at University of Wales Swansea, is the Director of AWISS and AWISS analysts’ work for NPHSW, HSW and UWS. If you have any questions concerning AWISS please contact our data analyst Steven Macey.
