Patient initiated follow-up 

We are now offering a patient initiated follow up pathway to some of our patients. If you have recently been put on a patient initiated follow up pathway you will not be booked a routine appointment, but you can contact us if you need to.

This pathway has been specially designed by the Gynaecology service, based on evidence showing that there is not always advantage to regular, fixed time follow up in hospital for patients after certain appointments.
