The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me prepare for a GP or care assessment for a relative.

Who: [relationship, age range]
Concerns and timeline: [facts]
Medicines and conditions I know: [list]
What they say vs what I see: [details]
What we want from the appointment: [referral, care needs, meds review]

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

Then:
1. A one-page brief I can take in.
2. Questions to ask.
3. How to speak up respectfully if they minimise.
4. What to request in writing afterwards.
5. Remind me this doesn't replace professional assessment.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger. UK English.

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