Beech Hill Medical Practice  

This clinic looks at the control of heart disease, checking that you are on the correct medication and that there are no problems developing. If problems are found you will be given advice or may be referred to the doctor. You will be asked a number of questions as well as being given an opportunity to ask your own questions.

If you have heart disease you will get an invitation to this clinic every year . This should occur around the month of your birth.

Attending the clinic is a two stage process. Firstly, you will be asked to attend to have some blood tests. You will need to have fasted for about 12 hours before this test ( nothing to eat or drink except water, black tea or black coffee - no milk or sugar). After you have had your blood tests you will be advised to make an appointment approximately two weeks later to see one of our nurses. She will then go through a series of questions, inform you of your blood test results and give advice as needed. She will also be able to answer any questions you may have about your disease.

If you wish to make an appointment to see the nurse for this please 'phone 01942 614307
