For many people with complex needs, there is sometimes more than one medical condition at play. It can be difficult to manage multiple medical conditions, as each one will have its own unique symptoms and medications.
If you or a loved one is struggling to cope with the management of their conditions, we are here to help.
Our team are trained to help manage multiple complex needs, ensuring that you or your loved one receives the support that they need.
Managing medications
One of the most complicated parts of managing multiple conditions is staying on top of different medications. With each condition often requiring its own set of medicines, managing these can pose a challenge.
A good step towards managing your medications can be to talk to your GP and other medical professionals. They will be able to help provide clear and concise guidance on what medications you are taking, when they should be taken, and how often.
You will also be able to have any questions answered regarding side effects and how these medications will impact each other.
This is also something that can be discussed with your complex care team and taken into consideration when developing a care plan.
A joined-up approach for treatment
One of the largest issues that can arise for those with multiple conditions is each one being treated separately and in isolation.
This can happen when specialists across the conditions do not communicate properly or consider the wider health of individuals. It is common for this to happen, particularly if treatment and care is being spread across multiple organisations.
When this happens, there can be conflicts in the care and treatment that is provided. Ensuring that a joined-up approach is taken is key to ensuring a high quality of life.
Our specialist teams work alongside all your medical professionals to get a full picture of your health and care needs. This means that every medical condition is considered when a care plan is developed, ensuring that management of these conditions is balanced.
As well as catering care to each condition, our care plans aim to be tailored to the needs of you or your loved one. We discuss not only what is needed for your care plan, but also the support that you specifically want.
This approach to care ensures that all aspects of your life are considered, from multiple medical conditions to your unique symptoms, needs, and wants.
If you would like support for yourself or your loved one, please reach out to our team today.
