It is important that all patients with asthma have annual check-ups so that their condition can be monitored and their treatment adjusted where necessary. We will send you out a questionnaire each year to assess your asthma. Depending on your responses, you may be asked to come in for an appointment or one of our team may contact you over the phone to discuss.

If you are having trouble with your asthma but do not think you need an appointment at the practice, we can often give you advice over the phone. You can either book a telephone consultation with one of our doctors, or speak to one of our nurses in the clinic.

With increasing numbers of people surviving their Cancer diagnosis, primary care has an important role in supporting people to live well with and beyond cancer. The Cancer Care Review (CCR) is a conversation between a person and their GP or Practice Nurse about their cancer journey.

It is essential to personalised care (www.macmillan.org.uk – personalised care for people living with cancer) and it is an opportunity for people to;

• Talk about their cancer experience and concerns.
• Understand what support is available in their community.
• Receive the information they need to begin supported self management.

You will be invited to undertake a short holistic needs assessment to facilitate this process, so that you can inform us of how your cancer is affecting each aspect of your life and how best we can support you.
