Chronic disease refers to medical conditions that may have an ongoing impact on your health. In particular we use this term to refer to the following conditions:

 

Hypertension, Diabetes, Asthma, COPD, CKD (Chronic kidney disease),

Mental Health conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar depression,

Ischaemic heart disease,  Heart Failure, Stroke, mini-stroke (TIA), Rheumatoid , Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Thyroid disease, Atrial Fibrillation,

Peripheral arterial disease

 

We encourage our patients to take an active role in helping to manage their own conditions, but it is helpful to come for a review once a year.

 

We would like to ask for your help in this matter. By taking responsibility for your medical condition you can help ensure that you are having the best possible care.

This review process is important and we will not be able to continue prescribing repeat medications without it.
