[QUOTE="Daphne917, post: 2269821, member: 124172"] Unfortunately it doesn’t always work. Despite being on a number of drugs inc beta blockers, blood pressure pills, digitoxin and Parkinson Pills the only regular check he gets is his INR due to being on Warfarin. The asthma clinic closed 2 years ago because they couldn’t find a new asthma nurse. A new GP in the practice was horrified to find that he had had no blood tests for 3 years to check his kidney function etc nor had his blood pressure checked for 2 years. Hopefully he will now get proper checks. Ironically if he didn’t have chronic conditions he would probably be getting more health checks. I tried to book him in once but he didn’t qualify due to being a regular visitor to the practice!!! [/QUOTE]
