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 6 data domains:
- prevalence
- preventing well
- diagnosing well
- living well
- supporting well
- dying well
Indicators in the dementia profile are shown at clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), strategic transformation partnerships (STPs), integrated care boards (ICBs) and 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.
