What is a long-term condition?
Hi all
Long-Term Conditions, or LTCs, are also known as chronic conditions. There are a variety of definitions but basically it means a health condition that isn't going to go away. For the purposes of MHm, a Long-Term Condition is one that will be with you for the rest of your life and requires some form of adjustment to every day activities, the use of interventions, or health professional management. An LTC might be as benign as myopia (short-sightedness) or as challenging as multiple sclerosis or COPD. There are lots of relatively common conditions that meet this definition of an LTC, and it is also common for people to have more than one. This is known as having multiple long-term conditions or, in health jargon, multiple comorbidities. Tomorrow I will post a list of common LTCs, but remember, you don't have to have one of these ones to be able to attend an MHm course.
Take care
