Dr. Patricia McWalter*, Prof. Abdullah AlKhenizan and Dr. Loay Basudan
ABSTRACT
The Authors work in a large Family Medicine and Polyclinic Department in the Middle East, as Family Medicine Consultants, with training and experience from UK, Canada and USA.

An integrated care approach with more resourcing of primary care is an essential step in managing multimorbibity in the future.
