Follow-up
GP
Your GP can check your general health and medications. Please arrange to see them within two weeks of your discharge from hospital.
Orthopaedic fracture clinic follow-up
Depending on the type of operation you have had, you will have a follow-up with the orthopaedic doctors. They will review your wound and assess how well your bone is healing.
Orthogeriatric follow-up
If you are an older person who has fractured your hip, you will have an orthogeriatric follow-up. This is to review your general health, medications and bone strength.
Community follow-up
If necessary, your therapy team will refer you for outpatient or community physiotherapy to progress your rehabilitation and help you achieve your longer-term goals.
