A few common questions
Do I need to do the assessment before booking?
No. You can book without completing the assessment or the pack. They are optional ways to organise your thoughts.
Can I bring this pack to my usual GP?
Yes. Print it or keep it on your device and bring it to whichever GP you see.
What if I’m worried about a symptom?
Book a GP appointment rather than waiting to finish a diary. Any bleeding after menopause needs medical review. Read Healthdirect’s advice about bleeding after menopause. For a medical emergency, call 000.
