Useful preparation before you visit.

Practical, general guidance for preparing for a cancer-care consultation.

Prepare with purpose

Small preparations can make a consultation easier to navigate.

Prepare previous reports, investigation results, medication details and questions for your consultation.

Write down symptoms, previous diagnoses, current medicines and the questions you want to discuss with the clinical team.

Consultation checklist

Carry relevant pathology or biopsy reports, imaging reports, laboratory results and previous consultation notes.

Keep an up-to-date list of medicines, supplements and relevant allergies so the clinical team has useful context.

If you have received previous cancer treatment, bring available details such as treatment names, dates and reports.

Write down questions about diagnosis, treatment purpose, schedule, monitoring and follow-up before the consultation.

For an appointment request, keep your preferred date, time, department or treatment area and preferred doctor ready.

If appropriate, consider bringing a family member or support person who can help remember questions and instructions.
