Article topics: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Older people, Type 2 diabetes

The prevalence of multimorbidity is increasing in the UK, and not just in older patients. Improvements in treating acute illnesses and increased awareness of the impact of mental health conditions on people’s physical health mean that multimorbidity should be addressed in a large number of patients. This article uses two case studies to illustrate what this looks like in practice and how general practice nurses can work with patients to improve their overall health.
