The Dementia Prevalence Calculator presents an opportunity for all health communities to gain a better understanding of their local estimated prevalence of dementia in the community, and among people living in local care homes.
» Guidance on using the Calculator
The tool enables General Practices and Commissioners to establish a baseline by which to set and work toward local quantified ambitions for improvement in diagnosis rates, as set out in NHS Mandate 2012, and inform local joint strategic planning, commissioning, and service redesign and improvement.
The Calculator is comprised of four MS Excel tools, each aimed at a different audience: Clinical Commissioning Groups; General Practices; Local Authorities; and Local Area Teams.
