The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me plan a hospital appointment day.

Appointment: [e.g. outpatients, scan, day surgery]
Date, time and hospital: [details]
How I'm getting there: [e.g. driving, bus, lift]
Who's coming with me: [name, or nobody]
What I'm worried about: [anything]
What I want to find out: [anything]

Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A timeline for the day: when to leave, with a buffer. Tell me to check the hospital's website or letter for parking, drop-off and where to go.
2. A bag list (letter, medication list, phone charger, snacks and so on).
3. My questions, grouped into before, during and after, with the most important first.
4. A simple template for notes during the appointment, so someone else can write them down.
5. A plan for afterwards: getting home, who to tell, what to watch for, and when to chase results.

I'm not asking for medical advice; tell me to check anything medical with the hospital team. If anything feels urgent, remind me to call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency. UK English.

A short example
