A question sheet to take to your appointment.
Last checked: 24 September 2026
Appointments go quickly, and the questions you meant to ask tend to arrive on the walk back to the car. This sheet holds them for you, in order, with room at the bottom for what was agreed.
Fill it in at home on a day that is not too hard, then take it in and put it on the desk. Handing it over is allowed. So is reading it out.
There is no sign-up, no email address to hand over and nothing to download. Open this page, press Ctrl and P, or Command and P on a Mac, and only the sheet below goes on the paper. Everything else, including this paragraph, is left off it.
How to use it
- Write the three things you would hate to leave without saying, at the top
- Put your questions in order, most important first, because the last ones often get cut
- Leave the bottom half empty, and use it in the room
- If you can, ask for the plan to be repeated slowly while you write it

Questions people ask
Is it rude to take a list of questions to a GP?
No. Written questions are normal and they make the appointment shorter, not longer, because nothing has to be reconstructed from memory in the room.
How many questions should I bring?
Fewer than you think. Three answered properly is better than eight half answered, which is why the sheet asks you to put them in order.
What if I do not get through them all?
Say so before you leave, and ask what to do with the rest. Some can go to a nurse, a pharmacist or the next appointment, and the sheet keeps them for you.

If you would rather not write it by hand
taluvu is a chronic illness tracker app for iPhone that keeps the same kind of record in about a minute a day, and turns it into a summary you can take to an appointment. The sheet above works perfectly well on its own.
