When we’re navigating healthcare, it can be surprisingly difficult to know what we’re entitled to ask for — and even harder to feel confident speaking up for ourselves.
With chronic illness, this can be especially important. Your healthcare journey may involve multiple practitioners, different opinions and decisions that can have a significant impact on your life. Knowing your rights can help you feel more informed, empowered and able to advocate for yourself.
I’ve created Your Health Bill of Rights as a simple, accessible reminder of the things you have a right to expect from your healthcare relationships. It’s also a gentle reminder that advocating for yourself isn’t being difficult or demanding — your voice matters.
I hope you find it helpful, reassuring and empowering. And if there’s something you think should be included, I’d love you to add your own insights and experiences in the spirit of patient advocacy.
Coming soon.
A gentle reminder
My work is designed to complement, not replace, medical care. If you’re currently under the care of a doctor, consultant or other healthcare professional, I encourage you to continue that relationship alongside any work we do together.
If you are experiencing an acute medical or mental health crisis, please seek immediate support. You can attend your local emergency department, call the emergency services (999 in the UK / 112 in the EU), or, if you are in emotional distress and need someone to talk to, contact the Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK and Ireland.
