Long term conditions
Long-Term Conditions (CVRM) is a pharmacist-led review designed to reduce your future risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and type 2 diabetes — by tightening up the basics that actually move the needle: blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, kidney health, and lifestyle habits that are realistic in the real world.
This appointment is ideal if you have (or are at risk of):
🫀 High blood pressure
🩸 High cholesterol
🧁 Pre-diabetes/diabetes
🫘 Chronic kidney disease
🧈 Fatty liver
and/or a strong family history, or you’ve been told your “risk is creeping up”. We’ll review your medical history, recent results (if available), current medicines and supplements, and any side effects or barriers that are getting in the way.
You’ll get a clear, personalised plan that may include:
optimising medicines (what to start, stop, switch, or titrate safely)
target setting (BP, lipids, HbA1c, weight, kidney markers) with a timeline
practical nutrition and activity changes tailored to your routine
monitoring guidance (home BP, weight trends, bloods) and what “good” looks like
prevention focus: sleep, stress, smoking/alcohol, and long-term sustainability
You’ll leave with a written summary and next steps, plus follow-up options if you want ongoing support to keep you on track rather than “one appointment and hope for the best”.
What this appointment is for?
Long-term condition reviews are one of the most important appointments you can have — because they’re about preventing future harm, not just reacting to today’s numbers.
To do this properly, we need time to review your history, symptoms, medications, lifestyle factors, and your latest results, then translate that into a clear, personalised plan with safe follow-up.
This isn’t something that can be done well in a rushed 10–20 minute slot. A thorough review helps reduce your risk of avoidable complications in the future — and gives you confidence that nothing important has been missed.
