Patient Initiated Follow-up (PIFU) – Orthotics

Patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) puts you, the patient, in control of when you are seen by the Orthotics team.

Attending regular outpatient appointments scheduled by the department can cause unnecessary anxiety – e.g., time taken to travel, park and wait for the appointment –especially if your condition is stable. Sometimes, regular outpatient appointments may not result in any change to your treatment.
