Chronic Disease Management

Chronic disease refers to illnesses that persist rather than those conditions that resolve after a single episode. These conditions can be the following: asthma, diabetes, heart disease, emphysema and kidney disease. Management of these conditions can be complex, but good management can make a big difference in reducing the risk of complications and maintaining good overall health.

Care Planning

Care plans facilitate the best possible management of a chronic disease. The care plans or GP management plans involve a detailed assessment of your current symptoms and treatment followed by identifying ways to improve based on best practice guidelines. Care plans are usually undertaken 6 monthly or annually depending on the severity of your chronic disease.

Team Care:

Best care for many chronic conditions is facilitated by a team of health care providers, including specialists and allied health professionals. Your GP plays a pivotal role in coordinating this care to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
