Long-term conditions are chronic illnesses that can limit lifestyle, such as diabetes, heart disease and Parkinson's disease. There are 15.4 million people living with a long-term condition in England. Numbers are expected to rise due to an aging population and lifestyle choices (Department of Health, 2009).
Do you want to develop the specialist skills needed to care for people with long term conditions? Or do you have staff interested in progressing to the role of assistant or associate practitioner?
