Things to consider when using the guide with patients:
The guide is a tool for patients, but you are able to use it with them in many different ways. For instance, it can be useful to ask patients to prioritise issues before a consultation, or to prepare questions that they often forget to ask.
You may want to encourage patients to write down the main points from their consultation in the relevant forms after they get home. They will then have a reminder of what was discussed and what they can expect in terms of future treatment or tests.
