The medrics score by region
One score out of 100 for each NHS England region where at least three trusts have been measured in full, from every trust's own published patient information, measured the same way everywhere. The rest of the map stays grey until it is.
Why it matters
Every trust writes its own patient information, to its own standard. So the same condition comes with very different information depending on the postcode. That is a health inequality, and it can be measured.
The map
Each region's number is the median of the trusts measured there. A region gets a number once at least three of its trusts are measured in full; until then it is grey. The colour deepens as the score rises, from a pale lilac to the medrics purple at 100.

The score is made up of seven measures of a trust's published patient information: whether it is kept up to date, whether it can be read at the NHS reading age, whether its links still load, whether other formats and languages are signposted, whether a phone can translate it, whether driving and flying advice is given where the rules apply, and how much of what patients need it covers. Six of the seven are measured today and a trust's score is scaled to 100 from those six; coverage joins the score once it is measured for every estate. Trusts receive the full breakdown in their report. How we measure.
For NHS trusts: the full picture, every month
The score is the headline. Your report is the whole story, written to be acted on:
- Every finding on every page, with the evidence linked beside it.
- Your private benchmark: where your trust stands against the others, measure by measure.
- A fix list your patient information team can work through, and the change measured on the pages themselves the following month.
- The accessibility and health-inequality evidence your board asks for, ready to forward.
- The choice to publish your score here by name, on your terms, when you are ready.
