Pre-consultation anxiety is more common than is often acknowledged, and it can affect how information is received, processed and retained. From a care-delivery perspective, ensuring patients feel supported before key consultations improves communication, decision-making and overall engagement. Simple measures, such as encouraging a support person to be present, can help patients feel more at ease and better equipped to participate meaningfully in their care journey. Support is not a sign of uncertainty; it’s a practical tool for improving clarity and shared understanding. #TeamTip #OrthoJoints #PatientExperience #HealthcareCommunication #Orthopaedics
