What the Patient Pathways Nurse can offer

The Patient Pathways nurse will aim to provide you with information that may support you to:

work with your healthcare team to build a stepwise symptom management plan
describe your functional impairment and its connection to ME/CFS
pacing support
discuss how you can put your best Disability Support Pension (DSP) and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) application forward
additional support as discussed with the National Patient Support and Information Service

Prior to your Telehealth Nurse call, you will be asked to provide some information for data analysis to meet our funding obligations.

What you can expect during your initial Patient Pathways nurse consultation

The consultation may cover:

medical history
personal history
relevant information relating to your treatments and quality of life

The call will last 20 to 30 minutes, but can be shorter to work within your energy limits. The Nurse will discuss your medical history and, if appropriate, provide you with resources or advice that allows you to continue your health journey. 

Together we will decide if you may benefit from further consultation. 

The service has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients and carers, who report that they feel more empowered during their medical consultations, and have had success in obtaining services that improve their quality of life.
