Birthday Recalls for CDM Posted or Updated on 15 Apr 2024

From 1 April 2023, we are changing when we invite patients for their annual review of certain medical conditions to your birthday month.

If you have a long term condition such as Diabetes or Asthma, you will receive an invitation to book your annual review with the practice during your birthday month either by text, telephone call or letter asking you to contact the practice.

You will be able to book this via a self book link or calling our Reception Team, who will identify the appointments you need to support your care.

A blood test appointment is required for certain conditions, and this will include a mini-health screen which will include your height, weight, pulse check, blood pressure, waist circumference and lifestyle information.

If appropriate to your condition, you will be offered an annual review discussion with a Practice Nurse or GP/Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

We can offer these as telephone consultations now and so if you feel that this is more appropriate for you, please just ask.

You may find that the period from your last review to your next review is more or less than 12 months as this enables us to transition to birthday month reviews over 2023/24.  If you have any concerns about your condition before or after your annual review, please contact us via our online triaging system eConsult.

Polite Note - eConsult will be transitioning to PATCHS over the coming months. More information to follow.
