The recovery coordinator will arrange weekly calls with the participant for the first 4 weeks and then fortnightly until week 12 to set recovery goals and assess recovery goals and navigator further primary care support if required. Participants will also be called at Day 90 and 180 by outcome assessors to collected patient reported outcomes.
