Improving co-ordination of care for people with multiple long-term conditions

It’s estimated that 20-40% of the population live with multiple long-term conditions, and this number is set to increase in the coming years. To cope with this growing demand, it is vital that clinical care is co-ordinated to give people with multiple conditions the support they need. In this report, the Kings Fund explores how care for people with multiple long-term conditions could be improved, look to examples of joined-up care being done well, and call for clinicians to consider that someone may be presenting with multiple long-term conditions as a default.
