Event Details

The words ‘Integrated Care’ currently feature in every health briefing, newsletter and policy document, but what exactly does it mean and what does it look like in practice? For people with Persistent Physical Symptoms as a result of a long term conditions and/or disturbance of function, treating physical, psychological and social needs in tandem is key to getting the best outcomes in terms of morbidity, mortality, quality of life and cost.
