'In the next 20 years, the Department of Health in England expects the number of those aged over 80 years to double and the number of people with a long-term condition to increase by 3 million. The same trends apply in all developed countries. While there is nothing we can do to alter these facts, there is much we can do to address the way we conceive of and manage chronic disease.' Mike Pringle, in the Foreword In this ground-breaking new work, Patrick J McEvoy connects with healthcare professionals, patients and illness to present an entirely new way to address chronic disease management. By reflecting on the very nature of chronic disease, rather than focusing on its consequences, the book sheds new light on the complex realities of general practice, explaining the intricacies of community medicine, and its relationship with both sociology and epidemiology. Highly practical in its approach, the book offers a generic paradigm of chronic disease, a trajectory-based model of clinical management and a curriculum for chronic care. It provides thought-provoking reading for all health and social care students and professionals, postgraduate trainees in general practice and their trainers seeking inspirational new ways to manage chronic disease. 'For those who aspire to achieve optimal outcomes, this book is their invaluable guide. It presents an evidence-based, generic profile of chronic disease as well as putting a recognisable face on the main players - the patients, their carers, the clinicians, all involved in training and the health system...A timely analysis of current issues in chronic disease as well as a unique teaching and learning resource.' Mike Pringle, in the Foreword
