The lead clinician should:

• ensure regular and timely (within a week) communication with the woman’s general practitioner regarding the treatment plan and recommendations from multidisciplinary team meetings and should notify the general practitioner if the woman does not attend appointments
• gather information from the general practitioner, including their perspective on the woman (psychological issues, social issues and comorbidities) and locally available support services
• contribute to the development of a chronic disease and mental healthcare plan as required
• discuss shared care arrangements, where appropriate
• invite the general practitioner to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings (consider using video or teleconferencing).
