SUMMARY:Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment
DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nThe “Getting the Most from your Healthcare Appointment” workshop was developed for the public by the South West Self-Management Program in 2013. This 1 – 1.5 hours\, interactive workshop\, focuses on what to do before\, during and after an appointment and uses action planning to optimize people’s health. A variety of learning resources are used including information sharing\, videos\, tools and a resource manual that supports the individual with integrating the skills into their next appointment.
