Dementia Profile

Important message about creating a new service for public health data and changes to the Fingertips platform

There will be a pause in the updating of the dementia specific indicators in the dementia profile due to staff changes. Other general health indicators that are displayed through the dementia profile, may continue to be updated until the Fingertips platform infrastructure redevelopment is commenced. Following this redevelopment, a review will take place and a new publication schedule will be produced for the dementia specific indicators. The review is not likely to occur until the end of the financial year 2026/27. In the meantime, please give your views in the NHSE consultation on Primary Care Dementia Data which underpins a substantial number of the dementia profile indicators. 

The dementia profile provides public health intelligence and data related to dementia, the associated epidemiology and service access. The purpose is to inform national and local policy development and monitoring in relation to the provision of health and social care for people in England who have dementia. 

This dementia profile shows 28 indicators arranged into 5 topics: 

  • 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 (ICB) and sub locations (sub ICB) where used
  • local authorities
  • England

Data and metadata are available online and as a download document.
