6.1
Use shared decision making to decide how often follow‑up and monitoring are needed, which healthcare professionals should be involved and whether appointments should be carried out in person or remotely. Take into account:
-
the person's needs and the services involved
-
the person's symptoms, including new or worsening symptoms, and the effects of these on the person's life and wellbeing
-
availability, clinical suitability and the person's preferences for in-person or remote appointments. [2020, amended 2021]
