Looking after your health starts with understanding it. โค๏ธ

Type 2 diabetes can develop gradually, often without obvious symptoms, which is why knowing your risk is so important. The good news is that there are steps you can take to reduce your risk, and it starts with a simple check.

The free online risk assessment from Diabetes UK takes just a few minutes to complete. By answering a few straightforward questions about your age, weight, family history, and lifestyle, you'll receive an indication of your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Over the coming months, we will be moving from AMGP to Accurx, a digital platform used by GP practices across the NHS to support patient communication and online requests.

No. AMGP is still available and can continue to be used as normal. There are no changes for patients at this time, and you do not need to take any action.

Accurx will provide a simple and convenient way for patients to contact the practice online and receive updates from our team. It is already used by many NHS services and will help us continue to improve how we communicate with you.

If you have recently been seen by a consultant or hospital team and changes have been made to your medication, please be aware that the surgery cannot issue or amend prescriptions without receiving written confirmation from the specialist.

To safely update your records, we need:
๐Ÿ“„ A clinic letter or discharge letter
๐Ÿ’Š The medication name
๐Ÿ“ The confirmed dose and instructions

This helps ensure prescriptions are accurate and safe for all patients.

If you have been advised of a medication change but the surgery has not yet received correspondence, please contact the hospital department or consultantโ€™s secretary to request this is sent to us.

Thank you for your understanding and support ๐Ÿค
