Managing multimorbidity requires recognising the interplay between conditions, adapting care plans accordingly and making holistic, person-centred decisions in practice.

These conditions may include:

• defined physical or mental health diagnoses (such as diabetes, schizophrenia or infectious diseases)
• ongoing conditions (such as learning disabilities), symptom complexes (like frailty or chronic pain)
• sensory impairments (such as sight or hearing loss)
• alcohol or substance misuse.

• Define multimorbidity and identify common long-term conditions involved.
• Recognise how these conditions interact and influence patient care.
• Discuss key considerations with practice supervisors/assessors.
• Use additional resources to support learning in university and placement settings.

• Start by reviewing the condition summaries.
• Use the condition interaction list to identify condition pairs of interest.
• Explore the corresponding interaction sections for focused learning.
