Chronic disease management is designed for those with chronic diseases and high health needs.
The aim is to improve health and self management of health conditions and treatment.
The initial visit involves a full assessment by the Practice Nurse when health issues are mutually identified and a health management plan agreed upon.
Follow up visits every 3 months, (with either the GP or practice nurse), check progress on goals and general health.
Cardiovascular/diabetic risk assessment calculates your individual risk for developing cardiovascular disease (heart disease or strokes).
It is calculated on family history, physical and medical assessment.
Lifestyle opportunities for change will be discussed and possibly a management plan formulated.
