As your GP surgery we play a significant role in managing your long-term condition.

We believe in working with you and specialists in the community to provide holistic, personal, and high-quality care. Long-term conditions or chronic diseases are conditions for which there is currently no cure, and that are managed with drugs and other treatments.

All patients with a long-term condition should have an annual review (or ‘health MOT’). The first part of this is with a healthcare assistant or a nurse. At this appointment we will take a blood sample, check your blood pressure, and update other health data. 

A GP will review your results, looking at your medical history and medications, and consider how together we could improve your health/management of your LTC. This may include health advice, medication changes or referrals to a community service.

Your second contact with us will be to share and discuss the GP’s recommendations with you. This appointment will also be with a healthcare assistant or a nurse. If you have more than one long term condition, we aim to make this second appointment with a nurse or GP.

A team of Social Prescribers are working alongside the GP surgeries and helping the patients in dealing with different social issues.

How it helps

Social prescribing can help individuals to have more control over their own health and find ways to improve how they feel in a way that suits them.

Social Prescribers listen to the patients, put them in touch with the people, organisations and activities that aim to help them to feel better.

They might help to find legal advice, debt counselling, digital resources, community group, a new activity and much more. The service is free and confidential.

Please ask reception team for more information. Referrals are made via GP surgery. 

Catriona McGuinnes is designated Social Prescriber who works with the patients of our practice. We appreciate her support and help.
