Long Term Conditions Reviews (LTC) – What You Need to Know

Annual Health Checks – Why They Matter

Regular health checks help us spot problems early and keep you feeling your best. Even if you feel well, these tests are an important way to protect your future health. Below you’ll find information about why we invite you for annual reviews based on your health needs.

Your Review Will Happen in Your Birth Month

We are aiming to carry out your annual LTC review during the month of your birthday.
For example, if your birthday is in April, you’ll be invited for your review in April each year.

Using Online Questionnaires

To help us prepare for your review:

• You may receive a text message with a link to complete an online questionnaire.

These questions help our nurses and healthcare team understand how you’ve been managing your condition and whether you’re having any problems.

Specialist Appointments for Respiratory Conditions

If you have asthma, COPD, or another respiratory condition, you may be asked to book an appointment with one of our specialist team members.

Medication Reviews

Once we receive your questionnaire and have carried out any necessary appointments, we will review your medication.

If your repeat prescription reaches its review date:

• Please request your medication as normal.
• If you order online and are having any difficulties, please use the “custom note” box to tell us.
• We will complete the medication review remotely and will only contact you if we need more information.

Why We’re Making This Change

By linking your review to your birth month, we hope:

• It will be easier for you to remember when your review is due
• It will streamline the process for both patients and staff
• It will help us provide consistent, timely care for all our patients

Thank you for working with us as we make this improvement to our services.
