What is Patient Initiated Follow Up?
Evidence suggests that routine follow-up appointments does not help prevent cancer returning. Patient Initiated Follow Up is where you can arrange an appointment as and when you need it, for instance if you have certain symptoms or if your circumstances change. This can help avoid unnecessary appointments, saving you time, money, and may cause less stress and anxiety.
