Long Term Condition (LTC) Clinics

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)
