Record observations
- Note what you noticed, when, and how long it lasted. Mark anything you are unsure about.
- Describe changes in your sleep, work, activities or comfort.
- Choose what you want to discuss. You do not need medical vocabulary.
Before your visit
- Choose your two or three most important questions.
- Gather details of medicines and supplements you take, and any test results you already have.
- Ask the clinic about communication or interpreting support if you need it.
During the conversation
- Begin with the issue that matters most to you.
- Ask for unfamiliar words and instructions to be explained.
- Agree on the next steps: tests, follow-up and how to receive results.
After your visit
- Keep the agreed steps and dates somewhere easy to find.
- Contact the clinic if the next steps are unclear. Ask who to contact if symptoms worsen.
