DESCRIPTION:John Newton will describe current approaches to the use of pop
 ulation data by Public Health England (PHE) to support its functions. This
  will include a brief overview of some routine surveillance and other outp
 uts but a more detailed discussion of the use of the Global Burden of Dise
 ase (GBD) estimates for England. The GBD project is a major international 
 collaboration that aims to quantify health loss in a detailed but comprehe
 nsive and useful way across the world and in individual countries. Collect
 ed and analysed by a consortium of more than 1\,800 researchers in more th
 an 120 countries\, the data capture premature death and disability from mo
 re than 300 diseases and injuries in 188 countries\, by age and sex\, from
  1990 to the present\, allowing comparisons over time\, across age groups\
 , and among populations.  John  will describe how PHE has contributed to t
 he GBD project and how the outputs have been used in England.  He will als
 o mention other international projects including the recently founded WHO 
 Euro Burden of Disease Network.  John would be keen to hear from members o
 f the audience about their experience of using GBD estimates in their work
