We encourage all our patients to share the responsibility for their health in both preventing disease and treating existing conditions. The practice nurse will be happy to discuss any concerns you have regarding family history of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and diabetes as well as your general health. Advice on diet, alcohol intake or smoking cessation can be given as necessary.
Patients aged 75 years and over who have not been seen by a doctor or nurse for any reason during the last 12 months will be offered a general health check either when they attend for a consultation or in some cases by written invitation by the practice nurse.
Patients between the ages of 16 and 75 who have not attended the surgery in the last three years for any reason will be offered a similar general health check when they attend for consultation or by written invite where appropriate.
