The Long Term Medical Conditions Clinic is an innovative approach to the way the practice cares for patients with long term conditions (asthma, diabetes, stroke, hypertension, COPD, coronary heart disease). It allows us to recall patients to have their conditions and medication reviewed in more efficient way. After consulting with a group of patients, the clinic was set up to reduce the need for patients to make multiple visits to the practice to see the practice nurse and the doctor. The LTMC clinic is run by Health Care Assistants (HCAs), Practice Nurses and Doctors, all working together.
The practice has over 6000 patients with one or more long term medical conditions (LTMCs) and we have a responsibility to see all of these patients at least once a year (more often in some cases) to check that everything is going well with the management of their condition and any medication they are using. If a patient has more than one condition, we need to review them for each condition. Reviewing patients in this way represents about 30% of the entire workload of the practice. By carrying out these reviews more efficiently we have hope to achieve these objectives
