Long-term conditions
‘Your Health, Your Way' is a series of 10 printable online guides to help patients in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland diagnosed with a long-term condition. Each covers a different condition. To see the guide brochures please select from the list below:
Anxiety and Stress Guide
Arthritis Guide
Asthma Guide
Cancer Guide
Chronic Kidney Disease and Renal Failure Guide
Dementia Guide
Depression Guide
Diabetes Guide
Stroke Guide
Vascular Disease Guide
These brochures can be printed off for patients after diagnosis. The aim is that health professionals, support groups and patients can download them - so can carers, family and friends, of course. They explain each condition, its treatment, and where to find out more, such as local support and advice organisations in our area. They also provide patients with helpful advice and encouragement to take a more active role in managing their own condition.
A prepayment discount scheme exists for people on long-term medication, who are not exempt from NHS prescription payments. Click here for details.
If your condition is not in the above list of guides, or for other information on long-term conditions and self-care, please click here for the NHS Your Health, Your Way web site. Look for the A-Z list of conditions.
