If you have a long term condition then we will invite you for an annual review so we can ensure it is managed and you stay well. For some conditions, we may need you to have a blood test taken more frequently.

It is important that you attend for your annual review as this allows us to monitor the medications that you are likely to be taking and ensure we keep you safe and well.

If you have any of the following long term conditions then we will invite you to one of our annual review clinics.

• Asthma
• Atrial fibrillation
• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
• Dementia
• Diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Heart disease or heart failure
• Kidney disease
• Learning disability
• Mental health conditions, including depression
• Raised blood pressure (hypertension)
• Raised blood sugar (non-diabetic hyperglycaemia)
• Raised cholesterol
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Stroke and TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

If you are going on holiday then you should always check if you need any vaccinations for your chosen destination.  NHS Scotland provide a great website that will give you advice about where you are travelling to, including what vaccinations are required and recommended. https://www.fitfortravel.nhs.uk/home

If you do need any vaccinations, then it is important to make an appointment as early as possible. Some vaccination courses require more than one injection and there has to be a gap between them. Some countries also require you to have had your vaccines a certain amount of time before you arrive there. We recommend you get in touch at least 4 weeks before you travel.

Our reception team will ask you questions at the time of booking so they can inform the nurse of you travel appointment. The nurse will obtain the correct vaccinations in time for your appointment.

Please be aware that the NHS only provides some vaccinations free of charge for travel purposes. If you need any vaccinations that are not available free from the NHS then you will have to pay for these privately. We ask for payment to be made before the appointment.
