Multimorbidity is the presence of two or more long-term health conditions in a person, and is a major global public health problem of increasing prevalence. Multimorbidity causes:
- higher mortality
- poorer quality of life
- reduced life expectancy
The Multimorbidity PhD Programme for Health Professionals, supported by Wellcome Trust, and delivered by the Unversities of Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and St Andrews, aims to create a generation of innovative world-leading researchers empowered with expertise in multimorbidity to prevent the condition and better treat those who are already suffering with it.
