Dementia Profile

The estimated dementia diagnosis rate indicator was last updated on 2 June 2026, including data up to March 2026. We have paused updates to the dementia data and intelligence products while we review stakeholder feedback and evaluate metrics to support the modern service framework for frailty and dementia.

During this pause, the estimated dementia diagnosis rate and other primary care dementia metrics remain accessible through Primary Care Dementia Data - NHS England Digital. From July 2026, this data will be published in a revised format and updated quarterly every April, July, October, and January.

Other general health indicators that are displayed through the dementia profile, may continue to be updated as per statistics release calendar.  

 

About the profile

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.
