Overview of this webinar

This grand round focused on multiple long-term conditions which is one of the major challenges that we are facing today.

Multi-morbidity that include a mental health condition has been less studied and explored. 

Although the context of the presentation is on people with intellectual disability, the challenges related to multi-morbidity is relevant for all mental health professionals.

The grand round started with a presentation by an expert by experience and then explored the evidence base for the management, population level challenges as well as discussion of a currently ongoing research project on multi-morbidity which uses artificial intelligence in improving our knowledge and management of these conditions.
