Long-Term Conditions is a comprehensive textbook for all nursing and health care students and practitioners, that explores the key issues surrounding caring for patients with chronic diseases or long -term conditions.

Divided into three sections, this book explores living with a long-term condition; empowerment; and care management.  Rather than being disease focused, it looks key issues and concepts which unify many different long-term conditions, including psychological and social issues that make up a considerable part of living with a long-term condition. Within each of the chapters, issues of policy, culture and ethics are intertwined, and case studies are used throughout, linking the concepts to specific diseases.
