What follow-up action is taken?
The MAP doctor provides a report to the patient, referring GP and/or Specialist including, as relevant, any diagnoses made, recommendations for treatment and, where possible reassurance. We ask doctors to co-operate in taking forward treatment recommendations and in responding to any enquiries about a patient’s progress. The MAP will send a standard follow up letter to all GPs, and others, who refer patients, asking for information on the patient’s condition and subsequent treatment, usually 6 months after the MAP appointment.

Six months after assessment, each patient is contacted and encouraged to update the MAP as to their condition and situation.
