Summary
With the number of outpatient hospital appointments in England recently as high as 125 million per year and a huge elective care backlog following the Covid-19 pandemic, patient-initiated follow-up on outpatient appointments has been touted as a potential solution in appropriate cases.

As the NHS begins to expand its use of the approach, the NIHR RSET research team has conducted a first review of the available evidence.
