Health Protection Yorkshire and Humber (Y&H)

Welcome to Yorkshire and the Humber Health Protection Team (Y&H HPT) and thank you for reporting a notifiable disease.

The Y&H HPT is piloting a new service for reporting notifiable diseases. The new service follows GOV.UK design standards and improves the overall reporting process. It includes multiple opportunities to give feedback and inform the future of the service.

For some infections, public health measures to prevent onward spread of the disease need to be taken immediately. For URGENT notifications please ring 0300 3030234 in or out of hours. If incidents occur late at night or in the early hours of the morning, please consider if notification can wait until the following morning. To check if a notification is urgent, please click here.

All URGENT cases should be reported, by PHONE, within 24 hours as there is often a CRITICAL WINDOW OF TIME within which effective public health control measures can be implemented. All phone notifications should be followed up by a written or online notification using report a notifiable disease within 3 days.

ROUTINE cases should be notified in writing or online using report a notifiable disease within 3 days. 

To report all other notifiable diseases to Y&H HPT, please use our new online service:  report a notifiable disease.

Please send any questions about the new service to yorkshirehumberhpt@ukhsa.gov.uk.

If you think your patient may live outside of Yorkshire and Humber and you need help finding your local HPT please use the postcode lookup.
