National Audit of Dementia 2025-27

In 2026, the National Audit of Dementia (NAD) begins the second phase of its three-year redesign programme. In 2025, NAD:

worked closely with our Steering, Implementation, Lived Experience Advisory Groups and wider networks to identify healthcare priorities and audit metrics
supported participating services with quality improvement activities based on previous audit findings
evaluated approaches to collecting meaningful feedback from people living with dementia and their carers
- Read the report which has informed the 2026 patient and carer feedback data collection pilot activities in general hospitals and trial in memory assessment services.

This work has shaped the new Healthcare Quality Improvement Plans, audit metrics frameworks, and all activities planned for 2026.
