Essential Services

The practice provides a number of essential services to patients, including:

• The management of patients who are ill or believe themselves to be ill, with conditions from which recovery is generally expected, for the duration of that condition, including relevant health promotion advice and referral as appropriate, reflecting patient choice where practicable. 
  
  
• The general management of patients who are terminally ill. 
  
  
• The management of chronic disease in the manner determined by the practice, in discussion with the patient. Monitoring of coronary heart disease, diabetes, asthma and COPD is carried out by appointment with the practice nurse.
