Long-term condition reviews

By invitation

Practice nurse and healthcare assistant

For asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart disease and other long-term conditions, we use care and support planning. It works in two steps:

  1. Tests first: bloods (no fasting), weight, blood pressure and, for diabetes, a foot check.
  2. Your review: with your results ready, talk with the nurse about what matters to you and agree a plan.
