Annual Check-ups

I think you are lucky to get an annual check ups, they are being very careful to check that your new medication is not having an adverse effect.
I had a heart attack three years ago but never get called for a check up!

I didn’t get the annual checks and the nurse told DH it was because I wasn’t on any medication. However, I succumbed to blood pressure meds and have had a couple of annual checks since. However, like the bowel tests, I’m told the annual checks stops at 75, although I can request them if I so wish.

Any annual check-up should take account of ALL prescription medications you are taking, as well as blood tests and bp etc. Usually has a Nurse Practitioner for these, not a GP

I have never had one of these checks although in my late seventies. However,I have no complaints about our surgery. We can always get an appointment without too long a wait if we have any concerns but they do leave it to us to take the initiative although there are regular checks for asthma etc. Just not a general MOT as far as I know.

A badly run practice. I have an annual review, which basically is the taking of a blood sample and the sending in online of blood pressure readings. I take medication for hypertension and hypothyroidism and the review covers both those and the other usual tests. What's happening to you is ridiculous. Have you spoken to them about it?
