Your parent is seeing a new doctor. Their health story should not have to start over.

When a parent switches to a new doctor, specialist, or care team, it can feel like everyone is starting from the beginning again.

The new provider may not know the full history yet. Records may still be moving between offices. And families are often left trying to remember what matters: medications, allergies, recent tests, procedures, symptoms, or changes.

This short video shares two simple things families can do before the first appointment, so important information is less likely to get lost.

This is not about becoming a medical expert. It is about helping the new care team understand the bigger picture sooner.

update and care assessment

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who left comments on this post. I spoke to my gp yesterday and said I wasn’t coping and we have increased my medication and we have booked an advanced care team assessment for my dad for next week.

Does anyone have experience having a care assessment and can give me some insight as to what it will be like?
