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

Long Term Conditions review – Why They Matter

Regular monitoring of parameters such as your weight, blood pressure, pulse (known as biometric data) and the appropriate blood tests relating to your condition(s) helps us to assess and review your treatment to ensure that your medication is working for you.  This also allows us to pick up opportunistically any other potential health concerns and address these as required.

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

We aim to review your full medication list at your LTC review and update your repeat medications with any changes that be required.  

If your repeat prescription reaches its review date before your LTC review appointment:

• 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.
