From June 2025, we will be using a new system for Chronic Disease Management reviews called Medlink.
As part of your annual review you will be sent an invitation with a link to a personalised health questionnaire. The questions are easy to follow and can be filled out in your own time.
Key Features
- Accessible – Straight from text message to online consultation
- Relevant – Covers important questions about your health
- Individualised – Information relevant to you
- Convenient – Complete in your own time
- Integrated – Attached to medical record
The new system will assist in gathering the data necessary for reviewing all of your relevant condition/s in the easiest way possible, reducing the number of appointments in the surgery you require. In some cases, you may not require a face-to-face review at all if the clinician is happy with the data you have provided and the current management of your condition.
As part of the new system you will be recalled for your annual review around your birthday every year making it easier to remember when you will be due.
How does it work?
You will be sent an invitation by email or text message, with a link to complete your personalised health questionnaire. Depending on the condition/s you have, you may then be asked to book an appointment for e.g. blood test, foot check at the Practice or with the Care & Treatment Service to complete the your review.
Once all of your results are back, these are automatically sent to our Practice Nurses to review. At this stage our Practice Nurse will decide whether they are satisfied with the results and let you know if a follow up is required.
I can’t use the internet, what do I do?
If you are not able to complete the health questionnaire online please contact the practice on 01382 611283 and our Medical Secretaries will either make an appointment for you with our Practice Nurse or provide contact details for you to contact the Care & Treatment Service.
