You have been directed to this page as you have been sent an invite for your long term condition review.
A long term condition refers to any health problem that requires monitoring and we aim to align our patients annual reviews to their month of birth.
Each patient who requires blood test monitoring will require an appointment with one of our health care assistants and will have a minimum of blood tests and a blood pressure check, but you may be asked some other health screening questions e.g. smoking status at the same time. If you then require a review with a clinical pharmacist, specialist nurse or a GP, our health care assistant will give you a slip of paper to take to reception to book the necessary follow up.
Patients who have a diagnosis of dementia, learning difficulties or who are housebound, will be contacted directly to arrange their annual reviews, rather than being sent a text, email or letter to invite them
Please contact our reception team to book your Long Term Condition (LTC) appointment(s).
