Bring key information

Bring your health card, medication list, allergy information and relevant medical records if available.

  • Prescription and non-prescription medicines
  • Previous diagnoses, surgeries and hospital stays
  • Specialist names and recent test results
  • Family medical history
  • Vaccination information

Choose your priorities

Write down the issues most important to you. A first visit may not cover every concern, so the physician can help create a follow-up plan.
