Multimorbidity guideline

Multimorbidity: Clinical assessment and management is a new guideline from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK. It aims to optimize care for adults with multiple long-term conditions by reducing the treatment burden of polypharmacy and multiple appointments. It also promotes the importance of shared decisions between the client and the health practitioner in regard to treatments, health priorities, lifestyle and goals.

This guideline includes recommendations on tailoring an approach to care, identifying people who may benefit, assessing frailty and delivering the approach to care.
