SURGERY UPDATES
** INVITATION TO CONSIDER STATIN TREATMENT **
We are currently working through our lists of patients who are eligible to try statin treatments, following guidelines from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). You may receive this information by text message, or in letter format. Patients who are being contacted will have one of these diagnosis in their medical record:
Coronary Heart Disease
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Stroke/TIA
Chronic Kidney Disease (abnormal kidney function blood test on two or more occasions)
There is an alternative to statin treatment if you have tried one before and it wasn't suitable for you. If this is the case, please let us know and an alternative lipid-lowering therapy can be discussed.
The link below directs you to a very useful tool to help in deciding if a statin treatment is for you. Your GP is available should you wish to discuss your offer.
Statin treatments are used to lower your risk of cardiovascular events ie strokes and heart attacks.
If you have not had a lipid blood test for some time and you are in one of the above risk groups, please contact us to book an appointment. We will be contacting everyone over the next 4-6 weeks to remind them to book in. This blood test should be undertaken annually.
Many thanks
