Active review is a care pathway for patients for whom elective surgery is considered to be the best option for their care, but where: this service is not available within the current public funding or provider capacity; and there is a realistic probability that the patient's condition may meet the threshold for treatment in the foreseeable future. These are the patients who would next receive treatment if provider capacity increases. While in the category of active review, patients should receive a clinical assessment every six months. If at any time a patient’s condition deteriorates to the point where their priority score exceeds the aTT, they should be given a commitment to treatment. If a patient’s condition remains unchanged by the time of the third assessment, they should be returned to the care of their GP. The goal is to ensure no patients in active review fail to receive their review every six months.
