Healthcare Appointments can be stressful. Research shows that patients forget 50% of the information shared during an appointment. Contributing factors include:

• Stress
• Too much information is provided too quickly
• Unfamiliar medical jargon
• Lack of self-confidence when talking to health care providers

Communicating well with healthcare providers is one of the most critical parts of getting good care; however, it takes time and effort by both parties This workshop focuses on what you should be doing before  your appointment, what is important to do during your appointment and what should you do after your appointment. Various learning resources are used to prepare and empower individuals to communicate more effectively with their healthcare providers.
