Start with your story

  • Write down roughly when you first noticed the wound, who has seen it, and what concerns you most today.
  • If a date or treatment name is unclear, say so and note which clinician or facility may have that information.

Gather what you already have

  • Keep your current medication list, allergy information, wound care instructions, and relevant discharge paperwork together for the visit.
  • Ask the scheduling team which records to bring and which may need to come directly from another care team.

Name what matters to you

  • Choose two or three questions you want answered, such as who to contact between visits or how the plan fits your daily routine.
  • Tell the team if you would like a family member involved or need help hearing, reading, or understanding the discussion.
