Understand the choices
Ask why a treatment is being suggested, what alternatives are available and what may happen if you wait. You can ask for more explanation before making a decision.
PATIENT INFORMATION
Make an informed decision.
Useful questions for a conversation about your care.
Discuss benefits and risks
Treatment outcomes vary. Discuss the possible benefits, risks and limitations in your own circumstances; a general success figure cannot predict an individual result.
Ask about the full cost
Ask for an explanation of consultation, tests, medicines and procedure charges, including any additional stages that may have separate costs.
Bring someone if it helps
You may want a partner or trusted person with you to listen, remember information and discuss your questions. Ask the chamber about arrangements for your visit.
