Previously called CDM clinics, LTC clinics are designed to ensure that we provide the most appropriate and up to date care and they're run at a frequency to allow patients to be reqularly reviewed.
All recent research has shown that conditions that are longstanding and require regular monitoring are best looked after in a nurse lead clinic setting.
Patients suffering from the conditions listed below will be called automatically for a review. To provide all patients with the oppertunity to book their review, we will send several invites using multiple communcation methods:
- an sms with a link included to book your own review (Smartphone needed)
- an sms with a direct bypass number included to be able to call to book your review (any age of mobile phone needed)
- a letter invitation with a direct bypass number included to be able to call to book your review
- a phone call to invite you to book your review
Your time at the clinic is to monitor a specific condition ONLY and we ask that you make a separate appointment for any other medical conditions you may have.
Asthma & Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
You should attend once a year in the Respiratory Clinic.
If this is well managed by yourself and you have a smartphone, we may be able to review this condition via an electronic questionaire followed by a telephone call.
Heart/Stroke
You should attend every 12months.
Diabetes
You should attend every 12 months.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
You should attend every 12 months for your blood pressure checked in a BP Clinic
