Practical planning guide

Build a useful medical-record folder

Keep appointment information, letters and questions together so that you do not have to reconstruct everything at each visit.

Practical next steps

Start with a one-page overview of your main contacts, current medicines, relevant allergies and the questions you want to discuss. Ask a clinician to check medical details.
Check myHealth for available public-system summaries, appointments and results; it may not include every record or private-provider visit.
Keep dated copies of referral letters and important reports. Ask each provider how to request missing records or correct an error.
Mark which tests are pending and who is expected to review them. A result appearing online does not replace clinical interpretation.
Ask the myHealth help service about doctor links, consent and access arrangements for a child or another person; never share an e-ID password.
Keep a backup somewhere secure and agree who may access it. Avoid putting identity documents or full reports in public groups.
Bring only the material relevant to the appointment and a list of the items you still need explained.
