The postcode search module uses an API to return the nearest local authority, which is cross-referenced with a predefined JSON data structure representing the hospitals in England. The nearest 3 hospitals are returned to the main application.

The app then renders numerous figures and charts to show the user whether or not their nearest hospital is hitting its targets.
