Below you can find useful tips to prepare for your appointment, but also for what you need to keep in mind during your visit to the Hospital.
Before your appointment
• Gather all the required documents and examinations you may need during your visit.
• Ask for a brief description of your medical history from your family doctor. It can be especially useful to our Hospital doctors, so that they understand exactly your health condition.
• It is important that you know your family history and be able to answer questions that the doctor may ask you.
• Prepare a list of the medicines you have been taking and the allergies you may have.
• Ask for an interpreter in case you do not speak Greek or English when you book your appointment.
• Prepare a list of questions you have and want to ask your doctor.
During your visit to the Hospital
• Be at the appointment on time. It is important to arrive 15 minutes earlier, as you will need to go through the outpatient department secretariat before your doctor's appointment.
• Bring with you a list of the medicines you have been taking and any other information you need.
• Ask questions. Ask for clarifications on any terms or instructions you don't understand.
• Answer honestly to your doctor's questions in order to form the best possible picture of your health.
• You will receive a lot of information. Therefore, it is good to note the instructions given by your doctor.
• Ask your doctor about the next steps. If, for example, you will need to schedule a new appointment.
