NHS Coventry is committed to supporting people living with a long term condition to help extend and improve their lives. We will ensure prompt, proactive condition screening and diagnosis and provide specialist services delivered by highly-skilled, multi-disciplinary teams in the community. We will also develop innovative guidance materials, health coaching and other educational programmes to empower individuals to take care of themselves.

Our priorities will be to progressively improve services for people with:

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma and other respiratory diseases
  • Diabetes (both Type I and Type II)
  • Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), including those with a heart condition or who have had a stroke
