Developed by NHS Scotland, this leaflet is designed to encourage patients to become more involved in their healthcare.

The leaflet sets out some things patients might do to prepare for their appointment – such as making a note of their symptoms and any questions they might have – and encourages them to ask questions during the appointment. It sets out some example questions they might like to use to check they have understood what the health professional has told them and some questions about any tests, treatment and what happens next.
