Background Pilot LTC project from October 2015 October 2016 NHS England Implementing the 5 year forward plan the expansion of IAPT services into Long Term Conditions Objectives New psychological therapy provision will see physical and mental health care co-located and integrated into existing medical pathways
Why focus on Long Term Conditions There are over 15 million people living with one or more long-term conditions in England The numbers of people living with one long-term condition is projected to reach 2.9 million by 2018.
