We have produced this section about living with multiple health problems as a resource for people who live with two or more medical conditions, and for their health professionals and carers.

Here you can find out about the impact and challenges of living with multiple health problems. You can see and hear 38 people sharing their stories about the effects of health problems on their lives and their experiences of using health services. They talk about how they deal with the challenges brought by having multiple health problems, for example by prioritising which health problem is the most important. They talk about where the health service has worked well and where it hasn’t worked so well. Advice for patients and recommendations for improving care are also offered.

We hope you find the information helpful. If you are looking for advice about a specific health condition (e.g. diabetes or epilepsy) please refer to other sections of the website.
