Ask a question
You can ask questions or search for stories, guides, or tools that help you.
Knowing what you need, want and feel can help health professionals help you.
Health professionals are people who help with your health, like:
- nurses
- doctors
- allied health workers, like speech therapists
- psychiatrists and psychologists
- specialists, like doctors who treat cancer.
Health professionals know a lot about health but you are the expert on you.
To get ready for a health visit you could:
- think about what makes a good appointment for you
- make a list of things you want to say or questions you want to ask
- find health information that says what you are feeling or thinking
- talk about the appointment with someone who supports you.
This page has ideas to help you prepare for a health appointment.
