Our Community Engagement and Involvement activities are designed to empower patients with Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC). Through these activities, we aim to create a robust network of empowered patients and community leaders dedicated to improving MLTC care. The aim of the Centre is to empower patients with MLTC to better manage their conditions and access the best available care.
Our initiative provides them with the knowledge, resources, and support needed to take control of their health and improve their quality of life. The Centre will identify and train 30 Community Champions who will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to lead community engagement efforts and advocate for better MLTC care. In addition, we will build the capacity of community members to meaningfully and effectively contribute to the Centre’s activities. They will also be involved in communicating research outcomes to decision-makers through high-level engagements and events. The Centre will create a dynamic, patient-led advocacy group, dedicated to improving MLTC care.
These advocates will then play a crucial role in influencing healthcare policies and practices, ensuring that patient voices are heard, and their needs are addressed. We will foster vibrant regional MLTC patient networks through mutual learning and sharing. These networks provide a platform for patients to connect, share experiences, and support each other, creating a sense of community and solidarity.
