Long Term Conditions

Long term conditions (LTCs) are conditions such as asthma, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, COPD, coronary heart disease, mental health, learning disabilities, and rheumatoid arthritis.

If you have been diagnosed with a long term condition every year the practice will invite you to attend for a review, usually within a month of your date of birth.  In the meantime you may find the links below helpful as they contain articles and videos explaining each condition and how you can better manage it yourself:
