Coronary Heart Disease
The Coronary Heart Disease clinic is nurse led and is held on a weekly basis. This clinic covers a vast array of conditions from patients who have a raised cholesterol to those who have undergone major heart surgery.
The clinic also cares for patients who have had blockages in arteries in other parts of the body as well as the heart. Therefore if you have had a stroke you will come under the umbrella of the 'heart clinic'.
Patients are invited by letter to attend the clinic; this usually occurs near their birthday month. The letter will state whether you need a blood test or not. As soon as you receive the letter, contact the surgery and make the appointment(s) as required.
For diabetic patients with heart problems we hold a combined clinic; this saves you having to attend two separate clinics.
