Using your discussion list
During an appointment, remembering everything that you’ve been told, and all the questions you want to ask can be a challenge. Often, as soon as you leave, everything comes back to you and you wonder why you couldn’t remember it all at the time!
To help you get the most out of your appointments, we’ve developed an easy tool to keep track of all the things you want to discuss. As you explore the website, you will find links from each topic that you can simply click to add to your discussion list. Alternatively, if there is something you think of at another time, simply go to the link at the top of the website and use the drop down to select the topic you want to discuss.
