On Tuesday 5th May, Dr Punam joined us in the studio to talk about 'red flag' symptoms that your GP might look out for in appointments and health checks.

Dr Punam showed a symptom diary template that you could use to log new, persistent or unusual symptoms and gather information for your GP ahead of an appointment.

You might find noting symptoms another way works better for you (for example on a notepad, or a notes app on your phone), but the template can still provide a useful guide for what sort of information to write down.

You can download the symptom diary template as a printable word document here.
