What is a long-term condition?
Hi all
Long-Term Conditions, or LTCs, are also known as chronic conditions. There are a variety of definitions but basically it means a health condition that isn't going to go away. For the purposes of MHm, a Long-Term Condition is one that will be with you for the rest of your life and requires some form of adjustment to every day activities, the use of interventions, or health professional management. An LTC might be as benign as myopia (short-sightedness) or as challenging as multiple sclerosis or COPD. There are lots of relatively common conditions that meet this definition of an LTC, and it is also common for people to have more than one. This is known as having multiple long-term conditions or, in health jargon, multiple comorbidities. Tomorrow I will post a list of common LTCs, but remember, you don't have to have one of these ones to be able to attend an MHm course.
Take care

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day
Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.
Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.
I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.
Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.
Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.
The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
