Coming in for a diabetes review?
We need your weeee..
Please bring a urine sample or come with a full bladder as your checks aren’t complete without a urine sample being sent off for checking your kidneys! An early morning Urine sample is ideal but any wee will do.Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a potential complication of diabetes and screening for kidney disease is a routine part of your diabetes care. Why a Urine Test: One of the early signs of kidney damage is when the body leaks abnormal amounts of protein in the urine (microalbuminuria). A simple urine test known as ACR (Albumin creatinine ratio) can detect this and it’s important we pick it up early as there are medications available to slow the progress of the disease and needing dialysis in the future.
Type 2 diabetes causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high. It’s a long-term condition that can affect your everyday life.
Planning a healthy pregnancy when you live with type 2 diabetes will help lower the risk of complications to you and your baby.
This is our new website. It is still in the stage of development. Please bear with us. We are trying to tailor it keeping our patients’ cohort and needs in mind and make it easy to use. It should help you do a lot of things independently.
Melrose Surgery has acquired a new building on Alexandra Road, a 5-10-minute walk from the existing site, to improve capacity and access. This building will add 12 more consulting rooms. The hope is that the new site will become operational from the 1st of August 2024. At the same time, the Eldon Road Branch, which is no longer fit for purpose, will seize to offer services. We are excited about the new site and hope it will not just improve patient experience but will allow us to offer more services to our patients.

We organised a group consultation for patients suffering from menopausal symptoms (Hot flushes, night sweats, disturbed sleep, mood swings, lack of sex drive, vaginal dryness, etc.) on the 29th of January 2024. It was very well received. We had 23 participants, who were offered an educational session, a dietician session, and a yoga session. They were also given an insight into research. We received very positive feedback from the participants and, since the event, one fourth of the participations made an informed choice to go on hormone replacement therapy.
We look forward to organising many more group consultations, not just for menopause, but for many more conditions like diabetes, COPD, heart failure, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, etc. and to your participation in these group consultations.
