What do I want answered?

Choose the questions you want to bring. A tick keeps a question on your list; it does not mean the service has passed a check.

Keep these together

The product.
The clinician,
the person assessing you.
The pharmacy.

Put names beside treatment questions

Begin with the names

Write the clinician's name and the full treatment name on your own paper. Keep your health details for the care conversation.

If an answer is unclear, write the question again beside it. Ask the clinician to explain it in everyday words.

Room for the clinician's replies

Leave space for the answer

Take the list to an in-person visit or keep it next to the screen. Read back what you understood before the conversation ends.
