UEC Bed Availability & Occupancy for January 2026

Daily returns are collected from acute trusts and includes data bed availability for adult and paediatric general and acute beds – split by Core and Escalation beds, as well as adult critical care, paediatric intensive care and neonatal critical care. The data also includes counts of patients with a Length of Stay (LOS) of 7+, 14+ and 21+ days.

The publication contains management data which has been collected on a rapid turn-round basis from the NHS. The speed of the collection only permits minimal validation to be undertaken but the data is considered ‘fit-for-purpose’.

For further information on this collection, please see the Urgent and Emergency Care Daily Situation Reports page on this site: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/uec-sitrep/
