How To Prepare For An Appointment With Your GP

How should patients prepare for an appointment?

It can also be very helpful when you're seeing your GP if you can be as precise as possible. If you're asked about your symptoms and you say "oh, quite a while" that can mean different things to different people. Quite a while could be a couple of days to a couple of years. So try and be as precise as you can. And try not to ramble. We're not particularly interested in the goings-on of your next door neighbor, we want to know about you. So try and stick to the point.
