Long Term Condition Research – Patients and Carers

  • Do you live with more than one long term condition?
  • Do you care for someone that lives with more than one long term condition?
  • Are you a health care professional?

If the answer is “Yes” then we would love to hear your views on how health care can be improved.

Who are we?

We are researchers from the University of East Anglia and participants from HealthWatch
Norfolk.

What do you want me to do?

We would like you to take part in a discussion about your healthcare experiences and views
on the management of multiple long term conditions and how these could be improved.

Your views are very important. Community participants and University researchers will lead a
discussion at a local venue or online.

This would be in small groups of around 10 people for a maximum of 2 hours. There will be refreshments and a ‘thank you’ shopping voucher for your time.

Why are we doing this?

Many people live with 2 or more health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease that are treated under different care pathways.

Often, there are numerous problems that reduce good care coordination for people with several health conditions.

We want to find out about the gaps in care and the problems that people with multiple long term conditions and clinicians face.

How your views will help

  • Develop further research
  • Find ways to provide better co-ordinated care
  • Inform policy makers
