🩺 Top Tips to Get the Most Out of Your GP Appointment 📝
👩‍⚕️Seeing your GP is an important opportunity to talk about your health and sometimes the time goes by quickly! To help you make the most of every appointment, here are some simple, effective tips:
👉 Before your appointment:
• Jot down your symptom(s) when they started and what affects them.
• Write a list of your key questions so you don’t forget anything important.
👉 During your appointment:
• Speak up if you’re unsure about something it’s OK to ask for things to be explained clearly.
• Consider bringing a friend or family member to help you remember details and next steps.
👉 Before you leave:
• Make sure you understand what will happen next with your care.

💬 A few questions to consider asking your doctor:
✔ What are the benefits of this treatment?
✔ Are there any risks?
✔ Are there alternative options?
✔ What happens if I choose to do nothing?

Being prepared helps you have a clearer, more productive conversation with your GP and ensures you leave feeling confident about your care.
If you have more than one concern you’d like to discuss, please mention this to our reception team so we can book you a longer appointment.

Why isn’t there a national prostate cancer screening programme in the UK?
Many patients ask why the NHS doesn’t offer routine prostate cancer screening for all men.
The main test available is the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test.
Unfortunately, PSA is not accurate enough to be used as a national screening test for the following reasons:
▶ False positives - the PSA is abnormal but you don't have prostate cancer - causing anxiety and further invasive tests
▶ Overdiagnosis – finding slow-growing cancers that would never cause problems
▶ Unnecessary treatments, which can have serious side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction
📌 The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) regularly reviews all the evidence. They have not recommended a national screening programme for all men because the risks still outweigh the benefits. The national screening committee are going to make a further decision on this in March.
💬 This doesn’t mean PSA testing is banned - men can still discuss the pros and cons with us to make an informed personal choice. If you have any symptoms such as changes to urination, weight loss or bone pain you should make an appointment to see a doctor for assessment, examination and tests.
