Starting from 1st April 2021, patients with long term conditions will be scheduled for their annual review around the month of their birthday. This approach ensures that all patients receive timely and consistent care.
What to Expect During Your Review
During your review, a healthcare professional will assess how well your condition is being managed. This may include:
- Reviewing your current medications and making any necessary adjustments.
- Checking any equipment you use, such as inhalers, to ensure they are working effectively.
- Discussing your lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and any other factors that may impact your condition.
Multiple Long Term Conditions
If you have more than one long term condition, we will combine your reviews into a single, longer appointment. This comprehensive approach allows us to look at your overall health and ensure you receive integrated care.
Why Regular Reviews Are Important
Regular reviews help to:
- Monitor the progression of your condition.
- Identify any new symptoms or complications early.
- Adjust treatment plans to better manage your health.
- Provide support and advice to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Booking Your Review
You will receive an invitation to book your review appointment around your birthday month. If you have not heard from us and your birthday has passed, please contact our reception team to schedule your appointment.
By keeping up with your regular reviews, you can ensure that your long-term condition is managed effectively, helping you to maintain the best possible quality of life.
