How we will help you manage your CHD
To help you manage your CHD, we will invite you to attend the surgery for an annual review. This is an opportunity to check that you are getting the best care you need and to stay healthy. It also gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns that you might have regarding your health. You will be seen by one of our Practice Nurses who will support and advise you on how best to manage your CHD.

Resources and support is available through the British Heart Foundation.
