title: Long-term conditions:  does the NHS support patients?
abstract: Professor Alan Glasper considers the results of the Department of Health study into the attitudes and behaviour of those living with a long-term condition. While the results are generally positive, work still needs to be done to both prevent long-term conditions from occurring in the first place and support those living with them.
