Getting a doctors appointment can be difficult, so it’s important to make the most of your appointment. Here’s a few tips to help you get the most out of your time with your healthcare professional: –
* Prepare in advance – write down any questions or concerns you may have about your health or treatment plan, in order of importance
* Take someone with you for support
* Give the doctor as much information as possible about your symptoms, and include photos if possible
* Tell your doctor how your symptoms are affecting your daily life, so they understand the full picture of things you may need help with to function
* Tell your doctor if you need information in a different format, such as paper copy, and ask them to explain any medical terms you don’t understand
Remember, nobody knows your body better than you, so don’t be afraid to share your views on what treatment options will work best for you
