1. What is the Follow-up Cancer Care in the Community programme about?
Our Follow-Up Cancer Care in the Community programme is designed to support cancer survivors by providing ongoing care within their local community. By partnering with primary care partners, we ensure seamless, continuous care as patients transition from hospital-based treatment to community-based follow-up, promoting long-term health and well-being.
2. I've been discharged from NCIS. What's next?
A care coordinator will contact you to guide you through the next steps. Based on your choice of primary care partner, an appointment may be arranged for you. Please be sure to attend your scheduled appointment and bring along your NCIS Cancer Treatment Summary and Survivorship Care Plan.
3. What is the NCIS Cancer Treatment Summary and Survivorship Care Plan?
It is a document outlining the cancer treatment you received at NCIS and providing screening recommendations to help maintain your health. This information is crucial for guiding your future care.
4. Will my primary care doctors know how to continue my care plan?
Yes, the primary care doctors you are referred to are well-trained to manage your follow-up care. They will ensure your general health and well-being are maintained through regular screenings.
5. What happens when I receive abnormal results?
You will be fast-tracked back to the hospital for further evaluation by our specialists.
6. If I'm a subsidised patient, will I become a private patient if I am referred back to the hospital?
If you are a CHAS, Pioneer Generation, or Merdeka Generation cardholder referred from a CHAS GP clinic, your subsidised status will be retained when you are fast-tracked back to the hospital.
