What is the National Audit of
Dementia?
The National Audit of Dementia is working with hospitals providing
general acute inpatient services to measure criteria relating to
care delivery which are known to impact on people with dementia
admitted to hospital.
Criteria include policies and governance in the hospital that
recognise and support the needs of people with dementia, elements
of comprehensive assessment, involvement of carers, discharge
planning, and identified changes to support needs during
admission.
The first round of audit took place in 2010, 99% of acute trusts in
England and Wales registered one or more sites in the first round
of audit. The second round of audit is due to take place in the
Spring of 2012 and it is open to all hospitals providing general
acute services in England and Wales.
