FAQs
This is the first event of it’s kind (we think) so there are bound to be questions. Here are answers to some.
-
The 15 ‘child free’ minutes are being given to (essentially) audit your health checks. Not had time to even consider which ‘well person’ checks you’ve let lapsed? This 15 minutes is the time you’ll need to go through the Jean Haile’s list and note down which checks you’ve missed to talk to your Dr about to get your health plan back on track.
-
Seeing your doctor is great! That’s exactly the outcome we are hoping to achieve.
These checks won’t replace a visit to your Dr. Your completed checklist will arm you with the knowledge of what tests you’ve not had done for a while. With your health ‘to-do’ list, you can visit your Dr and say, can we talk about X, Y, and Z checks? It’s been X years since I’ve had them done, maybe it’s time to check?
Research has shown that basic routine checkups - the 'well person' checks have dropped. We're only attending if we're sick. COVID lockdowns and the shortage of appointments have stopped many routine checkups too. Maybe we’re choosing to spend money on getting the kids checked and forgoing checks ourselves. Maybe we don't have the time to think about our health. Whatever the reason, the outcome is a lot of people not getting themselves checked out.
So the Check Me Out roadshow will arm you with knowledge and motivation to talk to your Dr about.
-
Definitely not. You have developed a relationship with your doctor. Only you and your doctor should know your own personal health status and medical details.
-
Firstly, sorry to hear you’re feeling unwell. We won’t be able to help you at these events. We won’t be having 1 on 1 consultations at this event. You also won’t be explaining your personal medical information or situation. We feel this is something that only you and your Dr should know.
If you’re feeling unwell, please contact your Dr. I hope you feel better soon.
-
Of course. We’ll be putting a downloadable checklist up shortly. The only difference is that you won’t have healthcare professionals on hand to answer questions (the kids might create a little challenge too).
-
As there will be additional healthcare professionals outside to talk to, information sessions, catering, hikes, forest bathing, besides your booked time you can stay as long as you like. These events are as much about you looking caring for yourself as they are about making new connections, meeting other mums.
If you are bringing your children, we ask that you arrive 20 minutes so you have time to meet your child minder.
Price: FREE
** Personal medical details or history will not be shared at these events. There will not be an opportunity to conduct private consultations with professionals at these events.
