These offer a general check on your health including, blood pressure, heart problems, epilepsy, smoking cessation, weight and alcohol problems.
You may be invited for an annual lifestyle clinic appointment if you have a history of hypertension, epilepsy, chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis or another health condition that needs regular monitoring. Prior to your lifestyle review you may be asked to have some blood tests and a urine test.
Appointments in the lifestyle clinic are run by Nurse Rebecca Lock, Nurse Justine Jones and Nurse Lorraine Rose and are 20 minutes long. Lifestyle appointments are available at both The Park Surgery and The Herne & Broomfield Surgery.
Cardiac Annual Reviews
If you have a history of chest pain, angina, heart surgery or have had a heart attack you will be invited for a cardiac annual review in the lifestyle clinic. This will involve a cholesterol check and the nurse will review your general health, treatment and give you any relevant information. Prior to this review you will probably be asked to have some blood tests and a urine test.
If you do not wish to have your cardiac annual review please complete the below ‘opt-out’ form and return it to the surgery.
Signing this form will opt you out of your Cardiac Review for a period of one year. The surgery is then required to contact you to encourage you to have a cardiac review. If at this point you wish to opt-out again a new form must be completed.
