Long-term conditions bring ongoing costs and practical challenges that standard health advice rarely addresses.

Practical pieces on living and working well with a long-term condition fit us well.

• Daily Management
• Work and Chronic Illness
• Costs of Care
• Support Networks
• Talking to Doctors

Our readers are people managing long-term health conditions day to day. The articles we take explain one current development in living with chronic conditions, use today's figures, and spell out what it changes for people's money, work, health or household.

• 700 to 1,200 words is the right length for us
• Unpublished and written for this page: living with chronic conditions
• Current, checkable figures from official data, reporting or your professional work
• We check every draft for plagiarism (Copyscape or a similar tool)
• Send a near-final draft; our editing is light
• One link to your own website is allowed in the article body
• We do not accept affiliate links
• Charts or photos are optional; 1920×1280px or similar if you include them
• For a byline, include a one- or two-sentence bio and a headshot (optional)

Respectful and practical, never patronising. Above all, tell the reader what it means for their money, work, health or household, using current figures where they exist — this is reporting and explanation, not promotion.

Formats we publish: how-to guides, q&a pieces, explainers, case studies.
