The Primary Care and Multimorbidity Research Group is led by Bruce Guthrie. Their research covers the role of general practice in the care of people with multiple health conditions. Summary People with multiple health conditions (multimorbidity) often find healthcare difficult to navigate and coordinate. It is important to establish new ways of organising care to improve quality of life while minimising the burden of treatment. General practice and primary care have a central role in health and social care, especially in the cases of those with multimorbidity. This is a growing area of research interest and there are a number of projects under way studying multimorbidity, particularly within the older population. The group work closely with a team of general practitioners, researchers, statisticians and administrators.
