We are making a small change to how we invite patients for routine health checks and annual reviews.
Until now, many patients have been invited for their review during their birthday month. We will be moving away from this system.
What’s changing?
We will now invite patients for reviews and health checks based on individual clinical need, rather than a fixed birthday month. This means:
- Patients will be seen at the right time, based on their health needs
- Appointments will be offered with the most appropriate clinician
- We can better follow current clinical guidelines and provide safer, more timely care
To support this, we will be using a digital tool that helps us monitor when reviews or checks are due.
Can I still book in my birthday month?
Yes.
If you usually have an annual review or health check and prefer to book it during your birthday month, you can still do so. Just contact the practice in the usual way to arrange your appointment.
What does this mean for you?
- You may be contacted at a different time of year than before
- You will not miss out on any reviews or checks you are entitled to
- The change helps us prioritise patients who may need to be seen sooner
Thank you for your understanding and support.
