Specialist clinics often want timeline, prior investigations, and a clear reason for the visit. This guide helps you assemble that bundle without duplicating every page you have ever scanned.
Minimum useful packet
- Referral or prior prescription mentioning the specialty, if applicable.
- Relevant labs and imaging reports from the last 12–24 months (ask your primary doctor which dates matter).
- A one-page timeline: symptom or diagnosis label, date, facility name.
Avoid common filing mistakes
- Mixing two patients in one PDF — split files before upload.
- Photos of screens with flash glare — prefer PDF downloads from the lab portal.
- Unlabelled "report.pdf" — rename with date and test type.
