Write down your questions
Make a short list of the topics you want to discuss. Put the most important questions first, and leave space to write down the answers during your visit.
Gather the information requested
Follow the instructions provided for your appointment. If your clinician asks for a medication list, earlier reports or other documents, bring them through the route they specify; do not upload or paste them into this website.
Confirm the practical details
Check the appointment time, the actual location or format, and any preparation instructions. Ask about fees and cancellation arrangements before making a commitment.
Take part in the conversation
If an explanation is unclear, ask your clinician to repeat it or use different words. Before you leave, make sure you understand any next step and how to raise a follow-up question.
