We have focused on clinical management and while we acknowledge there is much more to working with people who live with any long-term condition than simply clinical knowledge, that will have to be another folder!
We know that this will be a work in progress and will continue to evolve over the years, partially as information changes, but also as the needs of general practice changes.
We hope you find it useful. We always welcome feedback.
