Prevention of medical problems before they occur is very important. Our practice feels that our patients should take an interest in their health and  in trying to remain healthy. By working together we can hopefully decrease heart disease, diabetes, smoking related diseases and obesity related problems. Please see our lifestyle advice pages for more information.

If you already have a chronic medical problem you will be invited at least annually for a review of your condition.

If you are healthy you should have your blood pressure, weight, alcohol and smoking history recorded at least every five years. You may also be interested in your cholesterol levels and we would be more than happy to arrange for this blood test after our doctors or nurses have discussed it with you.

You may be interested in hereditary problems in your family. Our doctors would be happy to discuss these with you. Some people at increase risk of some cancers through their family history are offered genetic or disease screening if they meet national guidelines.
