What are annual reviews?
Every year, a large number of our patients will attend the practice for an annual review as part of their ongoing health monitoring. Annual reviews enable us to understand how you are managing your long term condition, and how this could be improved to support you and keep you in good health. Annual reviews are a very important part of the work we undertake on a weekly basis and we have specialist trained nurses to support and inform you.
We have spent time redesigning the way we undertake these annual reviews – we will invite you to attend an extended appointment during your birth month. We may be able to carry out a number of tests at once, meaning that you only need to attend the practice once each year for a physical review. For example, you may be a patient with Diabetes and CHD which require different physical tests but these can all be covered in one appointment.
Following your review, we will contact you remotely via text, telephone, email or by video call to discuss your results and how we can support you and keep you in good health.
Please look out for a letter, text or email from us which will invite you for an annual review.
Of course if you do feel unwell or that you are not able to manage your condition, please contact the surgery in the usual way to request an appointment for an earlier review.
