Summary

Systematic and evidence-based care which takes account of the expert patient and reduces unnecessary hospital admissions is vital to support those with long-term conditions/chronic diseases and those who care for them.

Reflecting recent changes in treatment, the nurse's role and the patient journey and including additional content on rehabilitation, palliative care, and non-medical prescribing, this fully updated new edition highlights the key issues in managing long-term conditions. It provides a practical and accessible guide for nurses and allied health professionals in the primary care environment and covers:

-　　　　　　　　　 the physical and psychosocial impact of long-term conditions

-　　　　　　　　　 effective case management

-　　　　　　　　　 self-management and the expert patient

-　　　　　　　　　 behavioural change strategies and motivational counselling

-　　　　　　　　　 telehealth and information technology

-　　　　　　　　　 nutritional and medication management.

Packed with helpful, clearly written information, Managing Long-term Conditions and Chronic Illness in Primary Careincludes case studies, fact boxes and pointers for practice. It is ideal reading for pre- and post-registration nursing students taking modules on long-term conditions, and will be a valuable companion for pre-registration students on community placements.
