About the Long Term Conditions and Personalised Care Programme
People with long-term conditions have told the Department of Health that they want services that help them remain as independent and healthy as possible. By having access to information that is easy to understand, they feel they have a the knowledge, skills and confidence to understand and manage their conditions more effectively and support wider choices. Connecting people to communities is a key element of personaliesd care to ensure that people are able to self-manage their physical health conditions, whilst also actively improving their mental health and wellbeing. People indicated that they want more services delivered safely and effectively in the community or at home, with more proactive and integrated services personalised to them and their needs (Opinion Leader Research, 2006; DH, 2005a).
