Meeting needs for ongoing care

Abstract

THIS ISSUE of Australian Health Review has a primary focus on meeting needs for ongoing health care for people with chronic conditions. The first paper in this issue is our n = 1 feature written by Claire Williams. Claire provides a personal account of her experiences as a carer. Her story is not uncommon ? while often made to feel like an intruder in the formal care processes of her partner, with very little support, she is then required to deliver, organise and coordinate care when her partner is discharged from the system.
