How To Make Best Use Of Your Time With The Doctor

Remember the appointment is for 10 minutes. It would be good to organise your thoughts & plan how you present your problems.
It is difficult to discuss more than one problem in a consultation-If you have more than one problem, please mention at the beginning-this will help us organise the time sensibly.
It would help us if you can tell us the 'reason for your attendance' ie. fear of cancer, fear of being crippled or in pain or need for a sick note.
Do not be afraid to air your fears, apprehensions or suspicions however far fetched or ridiculous it may seem.
If you do not understand any aspect of your illness or treatment please say so. We will be able to explain better /give you leaflets or direct you to other sources of information.
