There are 1.7 million children and young people in England with long term conditions, these can include asthma, diabetes, epilepsy. The management of such long-term conditions in childhood is shared amongst the parents and when at school, children are responsible for managing the day-to-day aspects of their condition. Synthesising qualitative research into children’s experiences of managing a long-term condition will be able to generate new insights of challenges they may face when at school and learning about their condition.
