Build your care-team question list

Create a concise, patient-chosen question list without uploading it or changing care automatically.

Opening scene

A good question list helps the medical and supportive rails stay connected.

Shape the conversation

Arrange the parts of a clear care-team question.

  1. Name the current context — Stable, changing, recovering or uncertain—without self-diagnosing a flare.
  2. Describe the observation — Use specific changes in symptoms, intake, weight or function.
  3. Connect it to the current plan — Include medicines, monitoring and any written instructions.
  4. Ask one next-step question — Clarify who should guide the decision and what to do next.

Make sense of it

The idea in plain language

Choose questions about the current disease phase, medicines and monitoring, nutrition adequacy, personal fibre or texture advice, and who to contact when symptoms change. Add what you hope to be able to do more comfortably.

The list stays in the Hub's existing encrypted question workflow when you choose to save it. It is not sent to a clinician, uploaded to a record or treated as a request for urgent care.

For urgent or worsening symptoms, contact the appropriate service directly rather than relying on a saved question.

Check the idea

What makes a care-team question list useful and safe?

It is concise, tied to the current phase and plan, patient-chosen, and never used as a substitute for urgent contact.

You built questions that keep specialist care and everyday support connected.
