Working in the community, at your practice, clinic or with people in their homes, you will see first-hand increasing numbers of people living with multiple long-term conditions. More often than not, you will be the first point of contact for these people when they are unsure how to manage their condition or have health concerns. The onus is on us as caring professionals to learn all we can about how best to deal with these difficult and complex situations. And of course, if we can work to prevent complications arising, reduce risk and encourage patients to manage their health to the best of their ability, then that’s what we should be doing.
Success!
