The main changes experienced during the Covid\u201019 pandemic were the introduction to remote healthcare and the absence of family members. An interconnection between themes was found, highlighting that providing a designated, always accessible contact person can be a catalyst for the improvement of\u00a0information provision and healthcare guidance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In conclusion, this study highlights the need for personalised and patient\u2010centred follow\u2010up that promotes patient empowerment, and how this can be provided by a designated contact person. Findings emphasise the importance of tailored support, involvement of family members, addressing information gaps, and overcoming barriers to self\u2010management. Lastly, the findings provide direction on how to approach follow\u2010up care in the future.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was done in close collaboration with the patient advocacy group Olijf; their significant input in both the design and conduct of the study is invaluable. Olijf's involvement ensured that the research remained patient\u2010centred and aligned with the real\u2010life concerns and priorities of those affected by gynaecological cancers. The participants in this study, all of whom are gynaecological cancer survivors, played an important role by sharing their experiences, and we extend our gratitude to them.
