Chronic Diseases
We are keen to support patients with longer term diseases or conditions, such as:
- Heart disease
- Atrial fibrillation
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Epilepsy
- Asthma
- Lung Disease (COPD)
- Chronic Kidney Disease
- Depression
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Mental Health
With most of these conditions, you will be offered a review with a nurse (and, where appropriate, a doctor) at least once a year. This review aims to ensure you are receiving the most appropriate treatment for you and gives you the chance to discuss any issues with the nurse or doctor.
The review is normally offered within a few weeks of your birthday; please feel free to contact a practice nurse if you think you are due for a review and haven’t heard from us.
