Annual Reviews: The Birth Month System

Key Information:

• Predictable Care: To make your annual health review smoother and easier to remember, we use a “birth month” recall system. If you have a long-term condition (like diabetes, asthma, or high blood pressure), your review will be scheduled during the month of your birthday.
• Step 1: The Invitation: You will receive an invitation (usually via text message) during your birth month asking you to book your initial checks.
• Step 2: The Pre-Check: Before seeing a doctor or nurse, you must get essential checks done (e.g., blood tests, urine tests, or blood pressure).
  • Why?: Doing this beforehand makes sure all results are ready for your appointment, allowing for a meaningful conversation about your health.
• Step 3: The Review Appointment: Once results are back, you attend the main review to discuss your medications and agree on a plan for the year ahead.
