Welcome to the dementia profile. This profile has been developed to support the work of the Dementia Intelligence Network (DIN) in providing health intelligence with which to inform the provision of care of people in England who have dementia. Further products produced by the Neurology & Dementia Intelligence Team in PHE are available here
This dementia profile shows indicators arranged into six data domains:
Indicators in the dementia profile are shown at Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Strategic Transformation Partnerships (STP)/ Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and Local Authority geographies and give local commissioners and providers the information they need to benchmark current practice against other CCGs, STP/ICS, local authorities and England. Data and metadata are available online and as a download document.
To access the dementia profile, please click on the adjacent start button. Information on further resources can be found below, a fingertips webtool user guide is also available.
Note: Impact of Covid19 epidemic on data contained in dementia profile indicators
Wider Impacts of Covid19 on health (WICH): PHE have developed a data tool to monitor the national impacts of Covid19 on the population of England. 5 indicators containing dementia related data have been publish on the tool. To access the data follow above link, select “access to care” tab and theme “Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease”.
The further resources pages contain links to more data, intelligence sources and other information which complement that found in the dementia profile. A downloadable excel version of the information captured in this section can be found in the dementia data catalogue.
