You can make sure your appointment with the BritCare Medical Clinic and Mississauga Walk-In Clinic goes as well as possible by bringing with you all of the items you need. To have the best use of the time you spend with the doctor, here are items to take with you to each appointment:

1. A Valid photo ID and OHIP card

Patients are required to bring their OHIP card and a valid photo ID to the Mississauga walk-in clinic.

2. List of medications you take currently

Even if all your prescribed medications are on file at your primary care physician, he may not have any records concerning prescriptions from other doctors. Remember to include OTCs (over-the-counter medicines), herbal supplements, vitamins, and other supplements that may be suggested to you, and specify how often you take them and what dosage you take them at. Once you create this list, you keep it in your wallet for your upcoming doctor visits.

3. Any relevant medical records or test results

If you took a new test since your last visit to the BritCare Medical Clinic or Mississauga walk-in clinic, be sure to take that with you. This information is vital to any new doctor or specialist who may not have access to your primary care provider. Giving the doctor all updates to your medical record allows the doctor a better understanding of your overall health, which may lead to a diagnosis faster and avoid duplication of tests. You can also access your patient portal if you are using an electronic version, to print out your test results and keep them for your records, and bring them with you to your appointments with other medical providers.

4. A list of questions and concerns

The night before your appointment, write down any specific symptoms, questions, and concerns. By doing this, it will help ensure that you will discuss all of them with your healthcare provider.

5. A family member or trusted friend

That person can help you with your primary questions and concerns, and make it easier for you to remember important details that you may have missed if you do not have someone else there who can write them down for you and share them with you later.
