“Just one thing after another”: Living with multiple conditions

This report explores how it feels to live with multiple long-term health conditions and shares learnings from ten in-depth interviews with people living with multiple long-term conditions from a wide range of demographics and locations across England. It showcases their everyday experiences and own perceptions of their quality of life as well as the changes they’d like to see. This research was commissioned by the Taskforce on Multiple Conditions and conducted by Revealing Reality. Also included in the report is a response from the Taskforce which reflects on the ethnographic research and outlines some potential activities for the Taskforce to undertake to address some of the issues surfaced.

Multimorbidity: Understanding the challenge

This ‘Multimorbidity’ report was commissioned by the Richmond Group to better understand the nature and scale of the challenge of people who are living with more than one long-term condition, how it affects their lives and why the system struggles to respond. It also explores how the Richmond Group of Charities own services and support offers might be adjusted to better respond to the needs of people with multimorbidities. The report summarised the findings of an initial scoping study, identified the evidence gaps and key questions for further consideration and set out plans for addressing the issue of multimorbidity in the longer term.
