A note before you begin
Thoughtful preparation can help you focus on the questions that matter to you.
Start with what matters to you.
Take a few moments to think about what you hope to discuss. Writing down your main questions ahead of time can make them easier to remember during your appointment.
Bring helpful context.
You might want to bring a list of medicines or other information you would like to review. Consider noting changes you have noticed and anything you want explained more clearly.
Make space for follow-up.
Before you leave, ask about any next steps that remain unclear. If you need more information, it is always reasonable to ask your care team to explain it in another way.
For individual medical questions, consult a qualified health professional.
