Four free PDFs to print or keep on your phone: questions to ask, a symptom diary, a checklist of what to bring, and a sheet of warning signs for the fridge. Each leaflet is also available in Bengali and Hindi: use the language switcher at the top of the page.

Making the most of them

How to use these leaflets

  • Print on A4 at actual size. Black and white is fine. If you cannot print, save the PDF to your phone and copy the questions into your notes app.
  • Bring them with you. Fill in the questions sheet and symptom diary before the visit, and take the first-visit checklist's list of reports with you.
  • Keep the urgent sheet visible and fill in your treating team's number. Your own discharge instructions always come first.
  • Share them. You are welcome to pass these leaflets to family members or friends who are supporting you.

For the plain-language explanations behind these sheets, see the Patient Guide and the glossary. To speak to the clinic, call +91 62916 81013 or book a consultation.
