CLINICS FOR LONG TERM CONDITIONS
- Diabetes
- Asthma & COPD
- Coronary Heart Disease
- Hypertension
- Chronic Kidney Disease

If you suffer from one of the above conditions you will receive annual review reminders asking you to book an initial appointment with one of our Health Care Assistants where she will carry out the background checks such as blood pressure, height, weight and often take a fasting blood test.
An appointment will then be made for a review with a practice nurse who will discuss the blood results and any further management of the condition that may be needed. We strongly advise that you attend for your reviews as this may prevent you developing complications from your condition.
