IPC News

This system is provided by the Institute of Public Care (IPC) at Oxford Brookes University with supporting funding from Partners in Care and Health

The system provides population data by age band, gender, ethnic group, and tenure, for English local authorities and regions. Calculations are applied to population figures to estimate projected numbers of older people by; those living alone, living in care homes, provision of unpaid care, their ability to carry out domestic tasks and self care.

Prevalence rates from research have been used to estimate the impact of; limiting long term illness, depression, severe depression, dementia, heart attack, stroke, bronchitis\emphysema, falls, continence, visual impairment, hearing impairment, mobility, obesity, diabetes and learning disability including Down's syndrome and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).
