Long Term Conditions
Long-term conditions (LTC) are increasingly prevalent, both in the UK and globally. Conditions include chronic kidney disease, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, mental health and cancer. Many people now live with more than one LTC often referenced as multiple co-morbidities. Research conducted within this theme is transdisciplinary including digital and social media experts, clinicians, psychologists, health information specialists with many opportunities to expand and grow.
Current research in this area is being funded by NIHR, the Technology Strategy Board, Kidney Research UK, Salford Clinical Commissioning Group, NHS X, Kidney Care UK, and the University of Salford’s Research & Knowledge Exchange.
