NHS healthcare staff caring for you may not be aware of your current medications, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had, in order to treat you safely in an emergency. Your records will stay as they are now with information being shared by letter, email, fax or phone. If you have any questions, or if you want to discuss your choices, please contact the practice manager.

New Patient Questionnaire (Appendix 1)

UNITS OF ALCOHOL

1 unit / = / ½ pint of ordinary beer, lager (Carling/Fosters) or cider (4.0/4.5% of alcohol)
1 small (125ml) glass of wine
1 single pub measure of spirits
1 large pub measure of fortified wine such as port or sherry
1.4 units / = / ½ pint premium beers and Grolsch/Budweiser/Kronenbourg 1664 (5%)
1.5 units / = / 1 Large glass of wine (average bottle of wine = 9 units or 6 glasses x 1.5 units)
2.5 units / = / ½ pint Carlsberg Special Brew/Kestrel Super/Tennents Super (8-10%)

Note: Low alcohol drinks can still contain 1.2% of alcohol and will still increase your blood alcohol levels. Research shows that no matter what the legal limit it is much safer not to drink and drive at all.

BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) – Only for use by patients aged 16 or over

Clinically, there are few more serious diseases than obesity. Obesity will reduce your life expectancy by six to seven years. It increases your risk of developing diabetes by more than five times and more than doubles your risk of high blood pressure. These are only some of the conditions to consider. Obesity can be treated. Obesity may be indicated from your BMI which can be calculated as follows:

BMI = Weight in kilograms

Height in Metres

e.g. patient weighing 80kg and 1.76m in height = 80 divided by 1.76 divided by 1.76 = 25.8

A BMI of between 18.5 – 24.9 is regarded as normal, 25.0 – 29.9 as overweight, 30.0 and over as obese and 35.0 and over as severe obesity (may differ for patients of certain ethnic origins).
