Celebrating the LINC project
Join us for a special event at the Hadyn Ellis Building at Cardiff University as we celebrate the success of the LINC project and its research findings into the experiences of people with multiple long-term health conditions.
The LINC project (Lifespan Multimorbidity Research Collaboration) brings together researchers and clinicians from the UK and Denmark studying multimorbidity across our lifespan.
The project aimed to understand what causes multimorbidity and improve interventions to reduce people's risk of it.
The event will celebrate the successes of the project and its plans for the future in the research field of multiple long-term health conditions.
What are multiple long-term health conditions?
MLTC, also known as multimorbidity, are complex and present a significant challenge for healthcare services, patients, carers and their families.
The LINC project focuses on a common type of MLTC: heart and blood vessels conditions and mental health conditions. The project aimed to explore how neurodevelopmental conditions and genetic and environmental factors influence the development of physical and mental health conditions across our lifespan.
By raising awareness and identifying the potential risks, we can work to prevent the chance of people developing it in future.
Final agenda details to be confirmed.
This in-person gathering will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with researchers and project contributors, hear inspiring stories, and learn more about the impact of this important research project.
We hope you'll join us!
