Remote monitoring service

Managing your condition at home

Overview

Remote monitoring helps us keep track of how you are feeling. Using your smartphone, you can answer a few questions each month to help us give you the right care at the right time.

We’ll use your responses to:

  • monitor changes to how you are feeling
  • talk to you about your experience when you come for an appointment
  • make changes to your treatment or care plan
  • arrange treatment when you need it (for example, bringing your appointment forward)
  • send you information to help you manage symptoms at home

Important: If you need support now

You don’t need to wait for your monthly monitoring form if you need help.

Call your hospital if you:

  • are ‘in flare’ or your symptoms get worse
  • need medical advice about your condition
  • need to book or change an appointment
  • want to check your appointment date or time
  • need to find out when you’ll get your prescription
  • want to check the status of a referral

Always call the hospital you usually visit. Teams in other hospitals will not be able to access details of your appointments, prescriptions or your health records.
