- updated indicators in the dying well domain of the dementia profile (including a statistical commentary) with data for multiple years up to 2023
- October 2024 data update for indicators in the dementia surveillance factsheet
About the dementia profile
The dementia profile is designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information on dementia. The data is presented in an interactive tool that allows users to view and analyse it in a user-friendly format.
The profile is structured around the NHS England well pathway for dementia with indicators arranged into 5 data domains:
-
pathway on a page
-
preventing well
-
diagnosing well and prevalence
-
living well and supporting well
-
dying well
Indicators in the dementia profile are shown for integrated care boards (ICBs) and sub locations (sub ICBs) where used, and for local authority geographies. This data gives local commissioners and providers the information needed to benchmark current practice against other areas in England and the England level.
