Many of our patients are called in repeatedly over the year for blood tests and reviews for multiple long–term conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, Asthma etc.
This is an inconvenience for you and a waste of nursing time and resources for our team
We are therefore embarking on a project to bring patients in once a year – preferably in their birth month – for a full review
When you receive our letter or text, please book an appointment promptly to ensure the system can run effectively
Our HCAs will carry out bloods, observations and questionnaires at one appointment and the results will be reviewed by our practice nurse who will discuss onward management with you
This is a big undertaking and during the transition period some patients may be called more than once for a long–term conditions review, whilst some patients may wait slightly more than 12 months for their first full review
We are confident though, that once it is set up it will be a real step forward in the care of our patients
