Why prepare for your GP appointment?
GP appointments are short—often just 10 minutes. When you’re managing chronic health conditions or complex symptoms, that’s barely enough time to explain what’s wrong, let alone discuss treatment options or get referrals. Without preparation, it’s easy to forget key details or leave unsure what to do next. This workbook helps you prepare for your GP appointment so you can communicate clearly and leave with a plan you can actually follow.
Who this is for
If you’ve left appointments feeling unheard or unsure what to do next, this workbook is for you. It’s designed for people with long-term or complex conditions whose tests are “normal” but life isn’t. It helps you prepare clearly, communicate confidently, and get a plan you can follow.
