Long Term Conditions

We have no examples of best practice here yet - will you be the first to submit some content

or recommend somebody who will?

Long term conditions are very challenging for the individuals, and often their family and

carers, as well as a range of professionals. We are very concerned about personalisation

and integrated approaches to these conditions.

Here are some sources you may wish to look at in the meantime

Kings Fund

About 15 million people in England have a long-term condition (1). Long-term conditions or

chronic diseases are conditions for which there is currently no cure, and which are managed

with drugs and other treatment, for example: diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease, arthritis and hypertension.
