ANNUAL HEALTH CHECKS
The practice now offers flexibility when it comes to your annual health checks. We recognise that many patients now have their own blood pressure monitor and prefer to submit a reading as opposed to attending the surgery.
If you prefer this option please select the form below that was indicated in your reminder text / letter. Once completed you can either hand the form back to the surgery or email it to Loth.HealthInformation78166@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk The forms are checked and we will contact you if any follow up is required.
If you prefer to see the Health Care Assistant or Practice Nurse for your check we are more than happy to see you as previous. Please contact our reception desk on 01506 670027 to arrange a suitable appointment.
IN HEALTH BP MONITORING (As directed by the practice only)
You recently submitted a blood pressure reading which was above desirable range. It has been advised that you monitor your blood pressure using the ‘In Health Monitoring Service’. In Health is a free communication system that uses text messages to help you and your GP/Nurse monitor your blood pressure more closely.
Please click the links below to find out more about the Florence System. To opt into this service, please complete the Opt in Form and email it to Loth.HealthInformation78166@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk
Initially, you will be asked to check your blood pressure twice a day for 2 weeks. Once this has been completed you will then be contacted by a member of the Practice to advise you of next steps.
If you have any questions or you do not wish to use this service, please call our reception desk on 01506 670027 to discuss further options.
