The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me prepare to use the NHS App for a GP booking or request.

What I need: [appointment / repeat / message]
Symptoms or request in brief: [details]
Duration: [how long]

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

Then:
1. A prep checklist before I submit.
2. What to write in the request box (concise).
3. If urgent, tell me to use 111/999 instead of waiting on the app.
4. Remind me features depend on my GP practice.

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.
