Support people in preparing for or following-up clinical conversations they have with primary care professionals (including health checks) to enable them to be actively involved in managing their care and supported to make choices that are right for them.

The aim is to help people improve their quality of life, avoid unplanned admissions and reduce the effects of long-term conditions on their well-being.
