Chronic Disease Reviews

Non-urgent advice: MEDLINK - Our Chronic Disease Review System

If you live with a long-term health condition - such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. It's important to have a regular review each year. 

These reviews are important to keep your condition under control, catch any early signs of problems, and give you a chance to ask questions or raise concerns.

As a practice we would strive to send you letters reminding you if you are due one, usually around your birthday month.

To make this process easier, more convenient, and more focused on your individual needs, we are now using a system called Medlink.

With Medlink, you’ll receive a personalised health questionnaire by text or email, which you can complete in your own time. This helps us collect important information about your condition before deciding whether any follow-up is needed, such as a blood test or a face-to-face appointment.

 

What to expect:

📩 You’ll get a link to a questionnaire sent to your phone or email.

📝 You complete it in your own time. It’s simple and tailored to your specific condition.

💉 If any tests are needed (like bloods or foot checks), we’ll invite you to come in.

👩‍⚕️ Once all results are back, a doctor or nurse will review them.

✅ If everything looks good, we’ll let you know your review is complete.

📞 If anything needs to be followed up, we’ll contact you to arrange it.
