A question sheet to take to your appointment.
Updated: 9 October 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 isn't too hard, then take it in and put it on the desk. Handing it over is allowed. So is reading it out.
No sign-up. Print it, or download it as a PDF. To print, 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

Printing these sheets for other people
You're welcome to print or photocopy these sheets and hand them out on paper, as many copies as you need, and you don't have to ask us first. That includes support groups, charity volunteers, ward and clinic staff, libraries, schools, and anyone helping someone else keep a record. There's nothing to pay and nothing to sign.
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 don't 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.
Is there a PDF version of the question sheet?
Yes. Press Download as PDF near the top of this page and you get the blank sheet as an A4 PDF, the same as the printed one. On an iPhone you can save it to Files or send it by email from the share sheet, which is handy if you would rather have it on your phone in the waiting room than on paper. There's no email address to hand over.
