Talking with your doctor
This brochure uses reader-friendly language designed to inform and empower your patient/consumer so that they can get the most out of your conversation with their doctor, nurse, or other health professional.
‘Talking with’ means you being open about providing information and speaking up when you don’t understand something or think it’s ‘not quite right’. A good conversation is a dialogue where your concerns, aspirations and values become part of the agreed plan.
