Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: People living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) often experience poorer health, reduced quality of life, and social isolation, placing increasing pressure on healthcare services. In the North East and North Cumbria, health inequalities particularly affect deprived communities and those with chronic illness. Healthworks delivers community-based wellbeing programmes designed to improve physical activity, confidence, self-management, and social connectedness. This research examines how preventative, person-centred, and community-led approaches can support individuals living with MLTCs. It explores the impact of Healthworks programmes on wellbeing outcomes, alongside the barriers and facilitators influencing engagement with services and long-term participation in community wellbeing interventions Funded Research Project poster from the Northern Health Futures Hub Public Showcase, held on the 11th June 2026 in Newcastle upon Tyne.
