Do you get a mot at the doctors?

Yes, an annual one, am at the same age as you: it's with a nurse unless something untoward is picked up. It's been for maybe 3/4 years.
I'm glad what was needful was picked up when you asked. Keep asking!

I’m 73

Mine is called an LCR (long-term conditions review) and includes a variety of blood tests to check things like cholesterol, kidney function, thyroid, diabetes and other things (I don't have those conditions, but they check to see if they have developed). They also check height, weight, blood pressure, asthma, which I do have, and ask about things like diet and alcohol intake. I always used to get a liver function test too, but last time it had been taken off the list, presumably for budget reasons.

I get a meds review which is supposed to be every 12 months but is often more like 15/18 months. I go for bloods and blood pressure with a nurse or HCA and then have a phone appointment, last time it was with the practice pharmacist.
No other questions asked other than are you ok with your meds?
I am 89 and sometimes feel totally overlooked.
I did see a Dr at the beginning of the year after developing ann irregular heartbeat and this is being investigated currently.

We have a review annually before our prescriptions are renewed. It is usually with a nurse and then a gp if necessary.

It involves blood tests, urine test, height and weight check and a chat.

I thought it was a protocol now to offer over 70s ab annual check

I never had them, but DH did, so he asked about me and was told I didn’t ‘qualify’ as I didn’t take any regular medication. However, after he died, I was diagnosed and prescribed meds for high blood pressure, so I’m invited to the surgery annually for a blood test with a nurse, followed by a phone call to discuss the results. I’ve had 3 of these and I’m now 75. My hypochondriac friend demands her tests every six months.
