Chronic disease management clinics monitor patients with health problems including Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, Heart Failure, COPD and Asthma.

These are run by our Diabetes Nurse and Nursing Team who offers regular checks on blood pressure, blood tests such as cholesterol, and breathing tests. The purpose of these clinics is to ensure that all our patients receive the best quality care as defined by the latest guidelines.

In our practice we hold diabetes clinics by appointment. 

We sometimes run in-house eye checks by the diabetic eye screening service for our patients with diabetes to look for early signs of damage, and also yearly foot checks with the practice Nursing Team to look for early signs of ulcers and to look at the function of the nerves in the feet.

We have good links to the diabetic specialist nurses, who also sometimes run clinics from our surgery.

Further information relating to diabetes can be found at www.diabetes.org.uk, a charity for people with diabetes.

It has long been recognised that one of the keys to a healthy life is regular exercise.

One of the barriers to taking regular exercise is often the cost, so we are pleased to be able to offer patients a referral scheme which allows a fixed number of free gym sessions, with advice from trained fitness instructors.

If you have a health problem that may be improved by taking more exercise, for example high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight, arthritis, depression etc, then please ask about a referral to this scheme.
