As a practice we encourage patients to become knowledgeable about their own diagnosed and long term health conditions. We strongly advise patients to engage with any monitoring appointments we recommend. This is so that we can effectively monitor your condition as part of our safe and preventative care ethos.
If you have a long term condition (see list below), you will be invited for a ‘LTC review’ just before the month of your birth.
The practice will write or SMS text message you at least annually or more frequently if this is felt to be required.
If you don’t hear from us for any reason please make contact at least annually for your review.
Our Practice Nurses are highly skilled to monitor your
• Asthma
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
• Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
• COPD
• Diabetes and Pre Diabetes (non diabetic hyperglycaemia)
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Stroke/ TIA (‘mini stroke’)
All reviews are by appointment only and can range from 15 to 45 minutes depending on your condition. This will be communicated to you when you book. You will often require a blood test prior to your appointment and the results of these tests will be reviewed with you at your appointment.
