Chronic Disease Management

If you have a long-term chronic condition that needs monitoring on a regular basis, the Practice will contact you to book an appointment for your review with the Practice Nurse or a clinician either by telephone or post. You may receive a text message to remind you of your appointment.

It is important to continue your regular check-ups and attend your appointments to ensure we carry on with the right care. We hold regular clinics to manage chronic diseases in the surgery and can also book you in at Barbara Castle Way during outside the normal working hours.

If you are unable to attend, please ensure you cancel your appointment so that we may able to offer the appointment to other patients.

Hypertension

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of the blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. It can lead to serious health issues, such as heart disease, strokes, and kidney problems.

Hypertension often develops over many years and may not present noticeable symptoms, which is why regular monitoring is important.

Factors contributing to hypertension include genetics, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and stress.
