How do I request an appointment in the future (e.g. 3 months time) for a patient who needs a follow up scan?
A. Referrers should indicate the following in the box on the referral form under the inpatient information (bottom right): “Planned follow up patient – please book scan for week commencing ….………………..”. Once this information is received and accepted, we will contact the patient immediately and book for the week specified at the most local site. Reminders will be generated prior to the appointment. Please inform us if the patient subsequently does not require the appointment. This applies to all pre planned follow up patients.
