The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a clear message to the GP surgery.

What I need: [appointment / advice / admin]
What I've noticed and how long: [my words]
Urgent red flags I've noticed: [if any]
Admin details: [NHS number optional, DOB]

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

Then:
1. A short clear message.
2. What to put in subject/reason field if any.
3. Self-diagnosis language to remove.
4. If red flags suggest emergency, tell me to call 999 or NHS 111 instead of messaging.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. Not medical advice. UK English.

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