Rising to the challenges of research in multiple long-term conditions: health and social care research ecosystem approaches
Increasing the evidence base for the prevention and management of MLTC is a necessity for our health and care system. This presents novel challenges that require collaboration between multiple stakeholders. The UK benefits from a unique research infrastructure, including support for the stages of planning and delivery of health and care research. As the health and care system moves towards bringing care closer to patients and service users, the appropriate selection of the health and care settings and research sites in which to deliver MLTC research, in addition to understanding and removing barriers to recruitment and participation for people with MLTCs, are important considerations to enable us to collectively respond to this challenge.
