Keep a record:

  • The working explanation of your symptoms
  • The options discussed and the plan you agreed
  • Written costs, appointment dates and who to contact

Follow up:

  • Note any questions that come up and send them to the coordination team
  • Follow the activity advice given for your plan
  • Keep your usual doctor informed and share your records

Seek urgent medical help (don't wait for an enquiry reply) if you have:

  • A hot, swollen joint with fever or feeling unwell
  • Sudden severe pain or being unable to put weight on a joint
  • New weakness, numbness, or bladder/bowel changes
