Prepare a one-page note for my GP appointment

Help organise these notes for my scheduled GP appointment: [what I noticed, dates, impact on daily life, medicines as recorded and questions]. Create a concise timeline, factual symptom summary and my three main questions. Preserve my wording and mark unknown details; do not diagnose, recommend medication or decide whether it is safe to wait. Minimise identifying details. This is appointment preparation, not an emergency assessment.

Make it yours: For urgent or emergency concerns seek appropriate medical help rather than waiting for an AI summary.

A useful follow-up

Make a shorter version I can read aloud in one minute without removing my main concern.

Turn symptom notes into an appointment summary

Organise these notes for my clinician: [notes]. Separate what I observed, when it began, frequency, changes, impact on daily life and questions. Preserve uncertainty and my own descriptions. Return a concise one-page summary, not a diagnosis or reassurance that care can wait.

Make it yours: Use approximate dates where exact dates are unknown; remove identifiers.

A useful follow-up

Which factual details are missing from my notes that I could tell the clinician?

03

Text

Choose the questions I most want to ask

I have a routine appointment about [concern]. My priorities are [priorities] and the visit is [duration]. Help me phrase three main questions and a short opening statement. Separate questions about symptoms, options and follow-up. Do not decide which condition I have or choose treatment.

Make it yours: If you think the situation is urgent, contact care directly instead.

A useful follow-up

Make a printable version with space to write the clinician's answers.

04

Text

Organise my medicine list for professional review

Format the medicine and supplement information I supply into a list for my doctor or pharmacist: [names, strength, label directions, actual use]. Keep label directions distinct from what I take. Mark missing or conflicting entries for confirmation. Do not recommend dose changes, interactions or stopping medicines.

Make it yours: Copy from the current packaging; AI cannot verify the medicine for you.

A useful follow-up

Draft questions about the discrepancies for my pharmacist.

05

Text

Prepare questions about a proposed test

My clinician has proposed [test]. Help me prepare questions about its purpose, preparation, limitations, possible next steps, costs and when to expect results. Do not tell me whether I need it or invent fasting or medicine instructions. Put preparation questions in a separate list for the clinic.

Make it yours: Use the clinician's actual test name and any written instructions.

A useful follow-up

Which instructions should I confirm before the appointment?

06

Files

Clarify a discharge letter without filling gaps

Explain this redacted discharge letter in plain language. Separate written instructions, follow-up dates and terms I should ask the care team to explain. Quote the location of each action. If wording is ambiguous, mark it for confirmation; do not infer a dose or change the plan.

Make it yours: Check dates and medication instructions with your care team.

A useful follow-up

Draft a short message asking the care team to clarify the ambiguous passages.

07

Text

Prepare a shared decision conversation

Help me describe my priorities for a discussion about [options already offered by clinician]. My concerns are [concerns] and daily constraints are [constraints]. Draft questions about benefits, harms, alternatives, uncertainty and follow-up. Do not rank treatments for me or supply personalised medical advice.

Make it yours: Include what matters to your daily life, not only symptom labels.

A useful follow-up

Create a notes table for recording the clinician's explanation of each option.

08

Text

Make a caregiver's factual handover

With the person's permission, organise these observations for their appointment: [notes]. Distinguish their own words from my observations and questions. Include changes in daily functioning and dates where known. Do not diagnose, exaggerate or speak for them. Remove information unrelated to the visit.

Make it yours: Respect consent and disclose only necessary information.

A useful follow-up

What should we confirm with the person before sharing the summary?

09

Text

Record follow-up questions after the visit

Using only my appointment notes [notes], create a follow-up checklist with agreed actions, responsible person and date. Mark anything I am unsure I heard correctly. Draft questions for the clinic about missing instructions. Do not create new medical instructions or interpret silence as permission to change treatment.

Make it yours: The clinician's written plan takes priority over an AI summary.

A useful follow-up

Which checklist item lacks a confirmed date or instruction?
