Some people have always had to find ways of living with long term
conditions such as diabetes or coeliac disease, but as people live
longer, increasing numbers of us now experience long-term poor
health. While some conditions that previously limited the length of
life are manageable a growing number of people live with long-term
conditions. Against this backdrop, Long Term Conditions explores
the complex issues surrounding the experience of long-term illness
and the enormous pressure this puts on individuals, their families
and carers and on health and social care services. The perspectives
of each of these groups are voiced within this book, with chapters
written by people who use health and social care services, carers,
policy-makers and practitioners. Using a variety of research
methods to get to the heart of the matter, the book probes
assumptions about the experience of long-term poor health and what
constitutes good care. Its aim is to challenge readers to think
critically about existing policy and provision and to inspire
change based on sound evidence and a drive towards greater
multi-professional working. Long Term Conditions provides
academics, practitioners and students with a thorough grounding in
the complex issues surrounding the experience and management of
long-term illness. It is an ideal text for courses on policy,
management and practice in health and social care.
