Start with your everyday.
Write down the products you use and the questions you want answered. A few clear notes can help you remember what matters once the conversation begins.
Share health information privately through the practice’s approved channels.
Understand the person and the plan.
Who will assess you, and who will provide any treatment? Ask how suitability is decided and what alternatives are available.
If a treatment is proposed, make space to discuss risks, costs, preparation, recovery and follow-up. Ask for explanations in language you understand.
A useful question is one
you want answered.
Leave with a clear next step.
Confirm what happens next, what you need in writing and whom to contact if another question comes to mind.
