Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

This workshop will be an introductory session on multimorbidity research from junior cross-national researchers. To provide context, four short presentations will be given on: an overview of the clinical and operational definitions of multimorbidity; the current lack of standards in measuring multimorbidity; the importance of outcomes; and the opportunities presented by these challenges (30 minutes together). The floor will then be open for a wider discussion on how as a research community we can address the issues raised (60 minutes). Areas of discussion could include bridging the operational and clinical definition of multimorbidity; creating a consistent methodology to apply in data sources in different countries; and highlighting key outcomes that should be explored in multimorbidity research. Major discussion points will be recorded by the presenters.
