We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases and offer a wide variety of medical services.
Chronic Disease Clinics
If you suffer from any chronic disease we will invite you to attend for review at least once per year. You will be sent a letter in the month of your birthday inviting you to make an appointment with our Advanced Nurse Practitioner to attend for review of all the chronic conditions you have. A prior appointment with our Health Care Assistant or CTAC Nurse for blood tests and blood pressure checked may be required. If you are unable to attend the Surgery, please let us know and one of our District Nursing Team can visit you at home to carry out these checks. Please ask at Reception if you haven’t been called.
