A new approach to supporting people living with long-term conditions
NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) hopes that by planning care together with patients, they will build the confidence to manage their health successfully, reduce their risk of being admitted to hospital, and improving quality of life.
GP surgeries across north central London (NCL) have begun supporting people living with certain long-term conditions in a different way, using personalised care and treatment to help them manage their conditions effectively and prevent health issues escalating wherever possible.
As well as treating people with long-term conditions, this new approach focuses on proactively identifying people at risk of developing long-term conditions and earlier detection and diagnosis of long-term conditions.
This new approach launched in October 2023. Eligible patients will be contacted over the year by their GP surgery.
