Long-term conditions
We ask patients with long-term conditions such as asthma, coronary heart disease and diabetes to attend annually for review. We take a team approach to our chronic disease monitoring with the doctors, pharmacy and nursing teams working together.
It is important to attend your annual review, to ensure your condition is as well-managed as it can be. After any physical checks have been completed we will ask you to book a phone appointment with the clinical pharmacist to complete a medication review, so that your prescriptions can be reauthorised for the following year.
Our goal is to move both long-term condition reviews and medication reviews into your birthday month, to help you and us remember when they are due.
