Make a short question list
Write down the three questions that matter most. Ask what documents to bring and what the appointment will involve.
Share communication preferences
You can prepare notes about preferred communication, sensory needs, breaks or support from another person. Ask the service which arrangements are available.
Leave with a clear plan
Ask for written next steps, contact details and clarification of anything you do not understand. Our printable worksheet has space for your notes.
