About the Protect Your Heart Community Hub
The hub is hosted at our Sydenham Green Group Practice every Tuesday morning between 10am and 2pm.
Your appointment will be with a specialist GP or Pharmacist and last for approximately half an hour. Your appointment will include:
- Checking your blood pressure and heart rate
- Talking through your blood test results
- Reviewing your cholesterol medication through a discussion of options with you
- A brief discussion about your lifestyle and wellbeing
- An opportunity to ask any questions (it might be helpful to make a note of these beforehand and bring them with you).
If you have been invited for an appointment, this means that our records show you are due a review of your medication to make sure that your treatment is the best it can be.
If you have not had a blood test to measure your cholesterol in the last 12 months then we may need to arrange this 2 to 4 weeks before you come for your appointment, so we have up to date information to share with you.
Following this appointment there will also be the opportunity to join a patient to patient group that discusses wellbeing and heart health if this interests you.
