Chronic Disease Monitoring

An Annual review is required for all patients with a chronic disease.

The practice continues to invite patients for annual review when they are due. We will continue to invite patients in their birth month. We can either

• complete your annual review virtually either by a telephone or video call to avoid the need for you to come to the surgery.
• complete your annual review face to face. This is because we need to carry out physical elements to your review, e.g. check your blood pressure, which we cannot do without seeing you.

The review may include lifestyle, medication review to optimise the treatment of the condition, blood tests, urine samples and monitor for any complications.

Not all chronic diseases are reviewed by the doctors. The majority of reviews are more appropriately carried out by the Practice Nurses. The reception team will book your appointment with the most appropriate clinician.
