Apex Medical Practice has a new online clinic for patients who need their blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cholesterol or cardiovascular disease monitoring. The new online clinic allows us to monitor and manage your condition from the comfort of your home.

We now do your yearly reviews and medication reviews over the telephone. Our online clinic allows us to give you better care by:

● reducing your waiting time, we can see people much quicker online.

● providing more accessible access to our clinicians.

● giving you a clear management plan.

Our online clinic also saves you the time and effort of coming into the practice to see a doctor or nurse face-to-face unless you need to.

How the online clinic works

● If you’re eligible to use the online clinic, we’ll send you a text message explaining that we’ll now monitor your blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cholesterol or cardiovascular disease from home.

● We’ll send you a link to our online patient portal hosted by Suvera. This is a secure platform we use to collect your information, like blood pressure readings.

● In our patient portal, you can submit any information needed for your appointment. Don’t worry, any information you share with us is secure and stays confidential.

● When it’s time for your appointment, you’ll speak to a clinician on the telephone. We’ll talk about your health and review any medication you’re taking.

● Sometimes we might need to make a follow-up telephone appointment after a few weeks or months. This is to make sure any changes we made are working.
