Why is this important for you?

Information for the public

NICE wants people to get the best care no matter who they are and where they live. NICE's advice on care for people with more than 1 long-term health problem aims to improve your life by:

helping you and your doctor to look at all of your conditions together
making sure that your doctor finds out how your health and your treatments affect you
making sure that your doctor knows what you want from your treatments
helping you to reduce the number of medicines you are taking, if this is what you want to do
cutting down on the number of different appointments you need to go to
making sure that everyone involved in your care works together and shares information about your health and your treatments.

Your healthcare team should know what NICE has said about options for people with more than 1 long-term health problem. Ask them about these and talk to them if you do not think you are being offered the choices that NICE has said you should have.
