LONG TERM CONDITIONS & MEDICATION REVIEWS

Our patients that have a long term condition or are on a high risk medication will be monitored and reviewed within the Practice and called for according to your birth month.  Depending on what your long term condition is or what medication you are taking will depend on what tests are required.  Below is a table that identifies when you can expect correspondance from us;

If you are a new patient or haven't heard from us after referring to the above table then please get in touch with Molly or Carla and we will arrange the necessary tests.

The blood tests are requested by the surgery and sent electronically to Rowley Regis Hospital.  You will need to contact them on 0121 507 6104 or swbh.phlebotomy@nhs.net to book an appointment (please state your name, date of birth, and NHS number with your preferred date and time).  If requested for a urine test you can collect a sample bottle and forms from Reception.  These should be returned to the surgery any weekday before 12pm to enable the hospital courier to collect and return to the Hospital for analysis.

Once these tests have been booked please book a face to face appointment with our Health Care Assistant, Ina or Karen, for a physical health check.  They will then book you a telephone medication review with a Clinician to discuss the results from your blood test, create a care plan and reauthorise any repeat medication.

POST NATAL, BABY & PRE-SCHOOL IMMUNISATIONS 

The surgery will contact Mum and baby at 8 weeks for a review, health check and babies 1st immunisations.  These are carried out by your Doctor and Nurse.

Future immunisations will be called for through the local Child Health programme.  Appointments will be held here with our Practice Nurse.  It is important that your child's 'red book' is brought to every appointment as this will hold vital information that you will need when your child starts school.

If you are unable to attend the scheduled appointment then please contact Reception who will gladly re-book for a convenient day/time.

IF you have any concerns about specific vaccines please call in to speak to the nurse or one of the GPs.
