- “Our long term ambition is to redesign outpatient services so we can avoid up to 30 million face to face appointments every year. We will do this in a number of ways including:
- Embracing technology and offering flexible, timely care via remote consultations.
- Offering earlier interventions and delivering outpatient care closer to home, such as providing First Contact Practitioners in GP surgeries.
- Empowering patients and putting them in control of their follow-up care, monitoring their own condition and choosing when to see a specialist.”
- Includes a collection of Patient Initiated Follow Up (PIFU) resources by specialty
