| Abstract: | The audit aimed to assess patient satisfaction and GP workload following the introduction of patient-led breast cancer follow up (PLFU), comprising regular mammographic surveillance and easy access self-referral to the breast clinic if required. A questionnaire was sent to 217 patients at low risk of recurrence or death following breast cancer treatment and to 302 GPs. From 217 patients there were 130 respondents (60%) and of these 126 (97%) patients had a clear idea of how to contact the breast unit, and only 5 of 130 patients (4%) required a breast clinic appointment. All 106 respondents (100%) were satisfied with the process to contact the breast unit. Only 10 of 277 GP respondents (3.6%) referred a patient on PLFU back to the breast unit during the study period. PLFU has been well received by patients following breast cancer treatment with little increase in GP workload. |
