Have Your Say: Help Shape Future Research for Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC)

Have Your Say: Help Shape Future Research for Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC)

A new public survey has been launched to identify the most important unanswered research questions about care for people living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC).

Facilitated by Dr. Ian Porter at the University of Exeter, the Steering Group of the Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC) Priority Setting Partnership is looking to identify the most important unanswered research questions about care for people living with MLTC. This vital project, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), is also being delivered in partnership with the James Lind Alliance. The goal is to ensure that future healthcare research directly reflects the real-world needs of patients, carers, and professionals.

Who Should Take Part?

The Steering Group of the MLTC Priority Setting Partnership is looking to gather insights from a wide range of perspectives, including:

• People with lived experience of multiple long-term conditions.

• Family members and unpaid carers who support them.

• Professionals working across health, social care, the voluntary sector, policy, and research.
