This information is for patients in our Prostate cancer supported self-management programme
The Supported Self-Management/ Patient initiated follow up programme has been specially designed by your team to support you. It is a type of follow up, where you, the patient, are in control. It means that your normal routine will not be disrupted by regular hospital appointments; instead, you can quickly gain access to the Prostate cancer care team and hospital when you need to. It is based on evidence showing that there are no advantages to regular, fixed time follow up in hospital for well men after treatment for Prostate cancer.
