Long Term Conditions
Long-term conditions (LTCs) can be defined as any ongoing, long term or recurring conditions that can have a significant impact on people’s lives.
A key focus for our LTC team is patient education, empowering individuals to understand their conditions, manage symptoms, and make informed lifestyle changes. These interventions aim to slow the progression of long-term conditions and improve overall quality of life.

What can you expect in a LTC appointment?
The LTC Team has extended consults to carry out regular reviews of your long term condition.
Through longer consultations, patients are given time to discuss concerns in more depth, allowing early identification of complications and preventing unnecessary hospital admissions.
These appointments include :
- medication reviews and
- blood test monitoring
which ensures treatment remains effective and safe.
The LTC team actively remain up to date with the latest treatments, medications, and research, ensuring care is evidence-based and aligned with current best practice.
This ongoing professional development supports the safe introduction of new therapies and optimised management plans tailored to each patient.
Proactive care through early prevention strategies and personalised care plans support better outcomes.
Nurses also conduct extra support assessments to identify social, mental, or practical needs that may impact a patient’s health.
Ultimately, the Long Term Conditions Team delivers a comprehensive approach to keep our patients living well and better long-term health to achieve Wellness Together.
