Chronic Disease Management

Giving you the care you deserve

If you have a chronic medical condition, our experienced doctors will support you with a tailored chronic disease management plan.

The plan may be prepared as a partnership between your doctor and our practice nurse. You will be asked about your goals, and we will consider your medical, physical, psychological, and social needs.

Your chronic disease management plan will be reviewed by your doctor every six months. Your doctor will help to identify whether the plan is meeting your goals and make any changes if required.

Who is eligible for a chronic disease management plan?

A chronic medical condition is a medical condition that lasts for more than six months. For example, diabetes, asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or stroke. Other conditions may also be eligible – ask your doctor.

Benefits of the plan include:

• A coordinated and planned approach to your care
• Identifying your health and care needs
• Planned services to be provided by your doctor, practice nurse and allied health providers
