I still do not feel reassured
Use this when you have already been reassured, but your concern has not gone away. You are allowed to ask for the reasoning, the plan, the review point and who is responsible for the next decision.
Ask what has been checked and ruled out
“I understand you are reassuring me, but my concern has not gone away. Please can you explain what has been checked, what has been ruled out and why you feel this is safe?”
Ask for the plan and who is responsible
“What is the plan from here, when will this be reviewed again, and who is responsible for the next decision?”
Ask what would change the advice
“What symptoms, changes or signs would mean I should call back, come in or be reviewed urgently?”
Ask for senior review
“I still do not feel reassured. Please can this be reviewed by the senior midwife, obstetrician or doctor responsible?”
Ask for documentation
“Please can you document that I raised this concern, what I reported, what was checked, what advice was given and when I should seek further help?”
