The dramatic rise in long term conditions represents a significant challenge for individuals, unpaid carers, families and services. This is compounded by the fact that people now commonly have multiple, rather than single, long term conditions.
People with multiple long term conditions often experience fragmented, condition-focused support/services and the ‘burden of treatment’ they deal with undermines self management .
LTCAS has established a working group to consider the issue of multiple conditions. In February 2011 we held a conference in partnership with NHS Healthcare Improvement Scotland 
(formerly NHS Quality Improvement Scotland) – please download the report here.
