The ‘Rich Pictures’ are evidence-based summaries of the numbers, needs and experiences of different groupings within the 2 million people living with cancer in the UK. They contain a range of evidence and insight including how many people are within the group, what their survival rates are, and what their typical needs and experiences are. This document provides information on older people living with cancer. The greatest risk factor for cancer is age, and over 60% of everyone living with cancer is aged 65 years and over. Around 1.3 million (13%) people aged 65 years and over are living with or beyond cancer. The document summarises what is known about the needs and experiences of older people at different stages of the cancer journey (diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and progressive illness and end of life), and also what is known about their lifestyle and perceptions. It considers 4 types of needs: physical and medical needs; financial needs; practical and information needs; and emotional and psychological needs.

The Dementia Profile is designed to improve the availability and accessibility of information on dementia to inform the provision of care of people in England who have dementia. It provides indicators arranged into six data domains: six domains: prevalence; preventing well; diagnosing well; living well; supporting well; and dying well. These profiles are at clinical commissioning group and local authority geographies and give local commissioners and providers the information they need to benchmark current practice against other CCGs, local authorities and England. Data and metadata are available online and as a download document. (Edited publisher abstract)
