Personalised stratified follow-up pathways (PFSU)

Personalised stratified follow-up (PFSU) is an approach to follow-up care that is tailored to individual needs, rather than relying on routine outpatient appointments for everyone.

PFSU supports people to feel confident and supported after cancer treatment, while ensuring timely access to clinical care when it is needed.

How PFSU works

PFSU may include:

  • Supported self-management
  • Remote monitoring of symptoms or test results
  • Rapid access to clinical advice if concerns arise

Follow-up is based on risk, need, and personal preference, rather than a fixed schedule.

Our role

We work with partners to:

  • Support implementation of PFSU pathways
  • Share learning and best practice
  • Monitor patient experience and outcomes

PFSU helps services use resources effectively while improving quality of care.
