Preparing for your first gynaecology appointment

What happens in the room, what you can ask for, what you can decline, and what to do with the twenty minutes you get.

What you will be able to do afterwards

  • Describe what usually happens at a first gynaecology appointment
  • State what you can ask for and what you can decline, and in what words
  • Prepare a written list that fits the length of a real appointment
  • Record what you understood afterwards, and what to take back

Completing this course means you have worked through the material. It is not a clinical qualification, it does not make you able to advise anyone else, and it carries no professional standing.
