The
Pre-GP Visit Deck

A short printable set to fill in before your appointment and hand to your GP. Side 1 is a patient summary they can scan in 60 seconds — all 34 symptoms with severity, what you're asking for today. Side 2 is what they need to know — medications, family history, your three questions. Plus a Know Your Rights card to keep, a how-to page and a worked example.

All 34 symptoms with a mild, moderate or severe dot, the impact on work, sleep, relationships and mental health, and what you're asking for today: assessment, starting HRT, or reviewing it.

Know Your Rights Card
What NICE guidance (NG23, updated 2024) says, in plain English: HRT should be discussed with you as an option; blood tests aren't usually needed to diagnose perimenopause if you're over 45; your preferences are part of the decision. You can ask for the reasons behind any decision, and for a second opinion. Keep this card.

What makes it different

Designed for real life

01
Designed to be handed to your GP
Not a private journal — a communication tool. Side 1 gives your doctor the complete picture in under 60 seconds. The severity grid for all 34 symptoms means they can see your pattern instantly.
02
The Know Your Rights card changes the dynamic
NICE guidance says HRT should be discussed as an option for hot flushes and night sweats, that blood tests aren't usually needed to diagnose perimenopause over 45, and that your preferences count. Most women don't know this. Now you do.
03
Made to be passed on
Print a spare for a friend, a sister or a colleague with an appointment coming up. It's the page most women wish they'd had the first time they asked for help.
This is for you if

You have a GP appointment coming up and want to make every minute count. You've felt dismissed before and want to arrive prepared. You've been experiencing symptoms for months and haven't yet been taken seriously.
