Patient Services

If you are on repeat medication/s, your items will be reviewed every year by our Practice Pharmacist will then contact you to review your medication with you and reauthorise it as appropriate.

You may be offered a health check including blood tests, a specialist nurse review of your long-term conditions, a medication review by a pharmacist or doctor, and a complex care review if you have specific needs. 

You are housebound if you are unable to leave your home. This means that your annual review tests will take place at home, usually by the community nursing team.

The practice pharmacist will then contact you to review your medication with you and reauthorise it as appropriate.

Your GP may then contact you to review your current health issues and plan for the next year.

The doctors can carry out home visits for patients who are housebound and who are more vulnerable.
