When you understand what’s going on with your health, you can make better decisions around your care and treatment. That’s why it’s important to ask your healthcare team the right questions.
The NHS has a very useful webpage about this subject https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/gps/what-to-ask-your-doctor/ As a patient, your appointment is your time to get the information you need for your health. We have created a basic list of questions for more routine visits. The PDF can be printed off and filled in before and at the appointment so you don't forget the questions and answers? This will make your appointment more effective. Be honest when completing the form and don't be afraid to ask questions. The template is a list of suggested questions. You may not need to ask them all or you may want to ask other questions, but it's a starting point. Before the appointment you can check full details of your appointment in your NHS App. The questions are also listed below. |
