CUREd+ Linked HES Accident & Emergency (A&E) - Emergency Department (ED) attendances

This dataset contains structured records of attendances at Emergency Departments (EDs) in England. It includes information on patient demographics, arrival method, investigations, treatments, and discharge outcomes. It is based on the older HES A&E national data specification submitted routinely by EDs as part of national reporting requirements. HES A&E was superseded by the Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) as the national standard for Emergency Department data collection from 2018. While both datasets overlapped between 2018 and 2020, HES A&E captures more limited and less structured clinical information compared to ECDS.
