Create three sections
Separate questions, documents and notes from the appointment. Put the question you most want answered first. Check the accuracy of medication and history information with your care team. Do not assume an old note is a current instruction.
Write down the next step in your own words
After the visit, note how to arrange follow-up and how to contact the team. Ask about unfamiliar wording rather than guessing. Share sections containing health and identity information securely and only with appropriate people.
Your next little step
Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.
