Ask a question
You can ask questions or search for stories, guides, or tools that help you.
You have the right to ask for changes that make health care fair and meet your needs.
This guide is about small changes that can make health care easier for you. These small changes are sometimes called reasonable adjustments.
You can ask for changes when you have an appointment with a A doctor that you see when you need a health check or another health professional. You can ask for changes like:
- getting information in Easy Read
- extra time to do forms with support from someone you trust
- a quiet place to wait for your appointment
- pictures and easy words to help you understand what the doctor says
- extra time to think about what the doctor says.
Everyone is different. The guide can help you think about the changes that you need.
