About the South Yorkshire Insights Bank
Our Insights Bank is a central hub for collating and sharing patient and public insight gathered across South Yorkshire’s system partners such as health and care, local government, and voluntary organisations.
It has been co-developed by a range of partners across the NHS, local authority and the VCSE sector, and is open to all to use and contribute to.
This easy-to-use space enables a wide variety of people to access insights to inform decision making, support funding bids, or aid knowledge growth. It is hosted by the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care System, but it is for any organisation to make use of.
It holds (non-sensitive) reports or information that partners have shared about themes or topics that can affect people’s health. This includes qualitative insights from engagement exercises, such as research studies, surveys, focus groups, consultations, patient feedback, and other insight gathering exercises.
The purpose of an Insights Bank is to provide a single location for storing and organising data and insights, making it easier for organisations to access and use the information to inform decision-making. It helps to ensure that knowledge and insights are not lost or forgotten over time.
By using an Insight Bank, we can:
- Share what we have heard from our public and communities thereby amplifying their voices.
- Find out what populations or communities think and feel about their health thereby helping us to listen to what they have to say.
If you are looking for specific insight, survey results, and/or reports, filter the insights categories to find out what you need to know.
If there is something you are looking for but cannot find please email syicb.involve@nhs.net and we will see if we can support you.

Why do we need one in South Yorkshire?
A number of our ambitions in South Yorkshire are linked by similar themes. In order to meaningfully tackle health inequalities we need to develop an intelligence-led approach that can help decision makers understand the impact of inequalities on people’s lives and how they access local services. By having an Insights Bank the insights that are collected and recorded through working with our communities will be better utilised, and it will help us to put citizens at the heart of all we do.
