Please note: Clinical Indicator reporting underwent changes due to the introduction of an Electronic Patient Clinical Record (ePCR). While there's no data reported for December 2021 to March 2022, we've resumed reporting since April 2022, with more indicators to come.

Using the Dashboard: Each section of the dashboard provides key indicators, which you can filter either at the Wales-level or Health Board level. Expand the dashboard to full screen using the arrow at the bottom right and navigate through the sections using the left and right arrows.

Accessing Data: For a deeper dive into the data, you can export the Wales-level dataset or the Health Board dataset. We've also provided metadata and indicator descriptors for your reference.

Since October 2015, we've been committed to transparency and accountability in our ambulance services. To complement the data release, we've prepared a narrative and overview document for download, giving you a comprehensive understanding of our performance.
