Announcing the launch of the SOS and PIFU National Website

The National Planned Care Programme in Wales is leading transformative change to ensure services are delivered in the most efficient way and that patients are seen by the right person, in the right place, at the right time.
See on Symptoms (SOS) and Patient Initiated Follow Up (PIFU) are two of the approaches that will contribute to recovery and transformation.
