Abstract
Multimorbidity is a term often used as a ‘call to arms’: to justify more generalist approaches to organisation and practice of clinical care, and similarly the need to support more generalist approaches to learning and workforce development. The terms multimorbidity and generalism, however, should not be conflated and are not synonymous. In this final chapter, we come full circle, showcasing elements of the generalist principles we describe in Chapter 1; illustrating some of the challenges and opportunities for production and use of research and evidence described in Chapters 4 and 5; ways to support learning and assessment described in Chapters 6 and 7; and implementation opportunities and challenges in how we organise care (see Chapter 8), prescribe (see Chapter 16) and embed patient partnership in clinical approaches (see Chapters 3, 11, 12 and 15). Done well, clinical care of patients with multimorbidity provides key examples of collaborative (see Chapter 13) healthcare.
