Long Term Conditions
Long-term conditions are chronic health issues that cannot be cured and tend to worsen over time.
However, many can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes, care plans, and regular medical reviews. In the UK, nearly three-quarters of 75-year-olds live with more than one long-term condition, known as multimorbidity, and a smaller proportion experience frailty.
Our guides offer valuable insights into these conditions and their care plans, helping you manage symptoms, slow progression, and prevent flare-ups or complications.
