Rowden Surgery now offer personalised care for our patients living with and beyond cancer.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, we can offer the choice of a face-to-face review or a telephone appointment to help you talk about your cancer experience and concerns.
We offer this support to you on an individual basis and may take different formats, such as discussing a diagnosis and treatment, offering lifestyle advice, reviewing medication or supporting you with your other pre-existing conditions.
You will be given the opportunity to raise anything you wish to discuss & together our nurse can go through any concerns and jointly agree a plan that supports self-management, signposting to other places for further advice or for anything that you feel you need support with.
Asthma Clinic
Asthma can be a frightening condition but we aim to optimise your asthma control so that you are able to use the minimum amount of medication to manage your problem well.
Come and see us in surgery, or see our dedicated asthma nurse to discuss your management and get your annual check up. You will also need to be seen annually to have any existing prescriptions updated.
We offer telephone consultations by appointment to discuss medication questions and give advice.
If you feel your asthma is well controlled and you do not need to speak to the asthma nurse, please complete the questionnaire below. Please click on the “Access SystmConnect” button below and select “Health review”.
At the end of the Questionnaire, you will be given a score. If your Asthma Control Test score is 20 or above, you have good control, and your medications will be updated by the Asthma nurse. Your next review will be due in your birthday month.
If your Asthma Control Test score is below 20 this indicates poor control, and you will need to book an appointment with the Asthma Nurse to review your medications before they can be renewed.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your medications a face-to-face appointment can be booked.
