What stands out · In brief

What stands out about health in Bermuda

More patients are seen within four hours than across England, but 12-hour waits for a bed are commoner

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, which runs the A&E at George Eliot NHS Hospital, saw 81% of major-A&E patients within four hours in the 12 months to September 2026, against 61% across England: 2nd of 117 trusts. 26% of patients admitted through its A&Es waited more than 12 hours from the decision to admit, against 13% in England. A&E ↓

More of Bermuda’s children are obese

23% of Year 6 children (aged 10 to 11) were measured as obese over the last three school years, against 22.3% across England; more than in 80% of UK towns. Health Grade ↓

NHS dentists are easier to get than in most of England

Of adults in the Coventry and Warwickshire area who tried to get an NHS dental appointment in the last two years, 90% succeeded, the highest of England’s 36 health areas; across England it was 82%. Dentists ↓

Health Grade

Bermuda grades C for health

Healthier than 26% of UK towns, on age-adjusted measures.

Life expectancy, men (77.7 years)Better than 18% of UK towns
Life expectancy, women (83.3 years)Better than 40% of UK towns
Healthy life expectancy, men (63.6 years)Better than 21% of UK towns
Healthy life expectancy, women (65.9 years)Better than 26% of UK towns
Deaths under 75 (97 per 100 expected)Better than 28% of UK towns
Preventable deaths under 75 (91 per 100 expected)Better than 31% of UK towns
Emergency hospital admissions (96 per 100 expected)Better than 30% of UK towns
Year 6 children who are obese (23%)Better than 20% of UK towns
Bad or very bad health (Census) (111 per 100 expected)Better than 25% of UK towns
Disabled (Census) (111 per 100 expected)Better than 27% of UK towns

Behind the typical UK town on every measure. Even its strongest, women’s life expectancy and preventable deaths, are in the bottom 40% of UK towns; men’s life expectancy and child obesity are furthest behind. Among the 1,799 UK towns of 1,000 to 3,000 people, Bermuda’s Health Grade is the 1,569th highest.

Each measure is ranked against every UK town of 1,000 or more, the ranks are averaged, and the average is ranked again. Every measure allows for the town’s ages: life expectancy is worked out from the death rate at each age, so it doesn’t depend on how old the town’s residents are; deaths and admissions are counted against what England’s rates would give a town with these ages, and the Census answers against England and Wales’s rates by single year of age, so a seaside town of retired people isn’t marked down for being old.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • A&E figures are for the trust. NHS England publishes four-hour waits by trust, not hospital, so George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust’s figures cover every major A&E it runs. They count type 1 (major) departments; minor injury units and urgent treatment centres are left out, which is why they sit below the all-types figure NHS England headlines (75% for England).
  • Adjusted for age. A ratio of 100 means as many deaths, admissions or reports of bad health as England’s rates (England and Wales’s for the Census) would give a town with these ages; 120 means a fifth more.
  • Small areas, summed to the town. OHID publishes these figures for middle-layer areas of about 8,000 people; the town’s figure averages the areas it covers, weighted by how many of their residents live in it, so a village shares its area’s figure with the countryside around it.
  • Different years. Life expectancy and deaths cover 2019 to 2023; emergency admissions 2016/17 to 2020/21 (the latest OHID publishes for small areas, including the pandemic dip); child obesity the three school years to 2024/25; A&E the 12 months to September 2026; the GP Patient Survey early 2026; CQC ratings were published on different dates, shown in each row.
  • Distances are straight lines. Miles are measured from the town’s centre to each site; the road is longer. For an emergency, call 999; for urgent advice, call NHS 111.
