The prompt · ChatGPT

Make a hospital or care visit list.

Visit type: [outpatient / inpatient visit / care home]
Who it's for: [me / relative]
Known needs: [charger, glasses, documents]
Questions I must ask staff: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A packing/taking list.
2. Questions checklist.
3. What to note after speaking to staff.
4. If the person's condition seems urgent while visiting, seek ward staff / 999 as appropriate.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent diagnoses, doses, calorie targets or treatment plans. This is help with preparation, planning and wording, not medical, diet or treatment advice; check the NHS website, speak to a pharmacist, or contact NHS 111; call 999 if it feels like an emergency. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. outpatient / inpatient visit / care home: a short note you already have. me / relative: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
