Patient Initiated Follow Up or PIFU is a way of putting YOU in control.
It provides you with direct access to guidance when YOU most need it.
Research has shown that many patients do not require regular follow-up after a plan of care has been set up. However, some people may experience anxiety if regular contact has been withdrawn.
The PIFU for the Long Covid service offers:
• a 3-month period of open access to the Long Covid service based on your agreed plan of care
• after your 3-month PIFU you will be discharged from the service
This leaflet will help you decide when you should get in touch with us and when the 3-month access expires. After 3 months you will need to contact your GP to be referred back to the Long Covid service.
The service is quick and easy to use: Just email or call the number on the front of this leaflet.
We will arrange a follow up appointment with a clinician.
Please note the secretaries cannot give any clinical advice.
