It’s okay to ask questions
We encourage you to ask questions about your condition, your treatment and care options. Using the questions below in your appointment can help you and your clinician have clearer, more meaningful discussions about your care.
- Benefits – What are the benefits of this test or treatment?
- Risks – What are the risks or possible side effects?
- Alternatives – Are there other options available?
- Nothing – What happens if I choose to do nothing for now?
These simple prompts can help make it easier to understand your options and feel confident about the decisions you make.
