NHS England: Demographics Dataset - Dated 24 Apr 2024

The Demographics dataset is derived from the Personal Demographics Service (PDS) database, which is the national database of all NHS patients in England, Wales and the Isle of Man in or after 2004. People born in these areas are registered and issued an NHS number at birth; people moving into these areas are registered when they first interact with an NHS care setting. Data collected include NHS numbers and date of birth, name, sex and address. A sub-set of this dataset (DEMOGRAPHICS_SUB) containing Study ID, data of birth and sex is provisioned with all NHS England data requests.
