What you need for a mobile consultation
A mobile consultation needs more than a vehicle and a table. Bring the equipment for registration, printing, secure conversations and reliable internet, plus clear signs so visitors can find the unit. Pack forms, information leaflets and writing supplies before you leave, and plan power, lighting and refreshments for the full opening period. This checklist also covers the small items that are often forgotten, such as spare charging options, privacy screens and cleaning materials.

Tips
- Pack one registration folder per consultation block, plus extra printed forms and privacy sheets. Keep blank forms on clipboards so visitors can complete them without waiting at the reception desk.
- Charge every laptop, tablet and power bank the evening before, then take extension cords, power strips and a cable reel. A mobile Wi-Fi router should be tested on site before appointments begin.
- Bring enough information leaflets for your expected visitors, with at least 10% extra. Add route arrows and an information board so people can locate the mobile unit from the nearest entrance or parking area.
- Plan one reusable cup and glass per staff member, with kettles, thermos flasks and coolers for the whole opening period. Do not rely on nearby facilities unless access has been confirmed in advance.
- Pack privacy screens, name stickers, ballpoint pens and clipboards together rather than distributing them across bags. Add a cleaning bucket and microfiber cloths so tables, screens and shared equipment can be reset during the day.
Frequently asked questions
- What equipment do I need for a mobile consultation?
- Plan for laptops or tablets, a multifunction printer, a mobile Wi-Fi router and power banks. Take extension cords, power strips and a cable reel as well, because the available power point may not be close to the reception desk.
- How many forms and leaflets should I print?
- Print one complete form set for every scheduled appointment, then add at least 10% spare copies. For information leaflets, use the expected visitor count plus 10%; busy walk-in sessions may need more.
- How early should I pack and test the mobile consultation equipment?
- Pack documents and non-perishable supplies at least 24 hours before departure. Charge devices and test the printer, scanner and Wi-Fi connection the evening before, then allow 30 to 60 minutes on site for setup.
- What should I bring for privacy and visitor registration?
- Bring privacy screens, registration folders, clipboards, pens and name stickers, with at least 10% spare pens and forms. Set up the screens before the first appointment so confidential conversations are not exposed during check-in.
