Abstract
Healthcare systems, medical education and research worldwide are designed to deliver care for individual diseases. However, complex long-term conditions (LTCs) and multimorbidity are on the rise. The existing systems are proving to be inefficient in caring for people with multimorbidity and a wider approach is necessary.1 The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) in conjunction with Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) organised a conference with the aim to improve understanding of LTCs. Common LTCs like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart failure, dementia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, chronic steroid use, serious mental illness and physical disease, and Parkinson’s disease were discussed. The interactive sessions focused on views and experiences of various medical experts in the UK on care pathways, care networks and care models that can help to manage LTCs.
