We will be invite you to register for the CDM Programme once you are eligible.  We would also be delighted for you to contact us if you think you have missed a call from us.

Initially, a GP or practice nurse will talk with you to enroll you onto the programme, which  pconsists of reviews with us every 6 months.  Each review will be as follows

  1. The GP or practice nurse  will discuss your general health and well-being with you and focus on your specific chronic condition and health issues. Due to Covid 19 it may be decided that this is best done over the phone.
  2. If you need to visit the GP surgery to be seen in person by the GP and the practice nurse, blood tests and other tests such as ECG and 24 hour ABPM will be carried out as needed.
  3. You will be issued with a written Care Plan after your phone or surgery based review.
  1. Structured reviews of your chronic disease with your GP or practice nurse
  2. A personalised care plan developed and agreed with your GP
  3. Regular reviews of your care plan and medication
  4. Opportunities for structured education and self-management support
