  • This paper was commissioned by The King’s Fund to inform the Inquiry panel. The views expressed are those of the authors and not of the panel.
  • Better management of people with long-term conditions has been a key priority of the NHS since the early 1990s. At that time it was recognised that if people with long-term conditions were managed effectively in the community, they should remain relatively stable and enjoy a quality of life free from frequent crises or observed increases in hospital visits. However, relatively little information exists on what constitutes best practice in terms of the role that general practice should play in this care alongside other primary, community and social care providers. This report forms part of the inquiry into the quality of general practice in England commissioned by The King’s Fund. Its core aims are to: establish what constitutes best practice in the management of long term conditions (LTC management), describe the role that GPs and the wider general practice team should play in delivering high-quality care to those people with long-term chronic illnesses, make an assessment of current care quality, establish whether measures of quality in LTC management could be developed to support quality improvements in general practice, and what these might be. The research undertook a literature review of the evidence and best-practice guidance supplemented with face-to-face interviews with selected expert informants. The research focused on six key areas: arthritis, dementia, depression, diabetes, people with multiple long-term conditions, managing long-term conditions across a population. [Executive summary].
