[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 621187, member: 100904"] Just read through thread. After first post I was about to say, why make assumption that it would be a negative experience? Ok, so they often are negative, but if we go to these appointments with closed minds, we get nothing from them and waste our time and that of the HCP. They must get fed up with people coming to see them, just because they were referred, who have no intention of taking any notice. I had an appointment last week week with a health trainer. Went with an open mind, but secretly doubting it would be of use. I was prepared to listen, but made sure I was listened to as well. The result was we both gained from the experience. I got some new information on exercise sessions available, and she had info from me on how I had managed by diabetes and weightloss, which she promised she would use to advise other and share with her colleagues. As I got to the end of the thread [USER=119208]@Loobles[/USER] , I realised you found the appointment was better than you had anticipated. So, you have demonstrated that working in collaboration with HCPs, sharing knowledge, is a good way to go. Well done, if more of us take this approach we can effect change. [/QUOTE]
