Supporting you if you become ill again

If you become ill again, or your GP thinks that your treatment is not working or you have unpleasant side effects, you should be offered an appointment at a specialist service and treated according to your care plan. If you need further treatment from specialist services, they should take account of any specific requests you may have. This may include discussing any side effects and other treatments you wish to have, such as therapy.
