Long Term Conditions

Today the Integrated Care and Support Pioneers have their inaugural workshop.  Anya de longh will be talking to representatives from the pioneer areas about what personalisation really means from the perspective of someone living with several long term health conditions. Here, she shares her thoughts:

It is a real privilege to talk to the integration pioneers about personalisation and what that means to me, as someone who lives with several long term health conditions.

Everywhere I go, people are talking about building the House of Care and putting in place collaborative care and support planning. It all looks so simple doesn’t it? Ask people to set a goal, tell them what local support is available to help them get there and you’ve got a basic care plan. Add in a few pieces of information (medical data and details of who to contact in case of emergency) and there it is - job done.
