Help me organise a shared calendar for my parent's appointments.

Who I'm caring for: [e.g. Mum]
Appointments: [paste from letters and texts: date, time, place, who with]
Repeat prescriptions and when they're due: [as the GP or pharmacy told us]
Family who can help: [names and when they're free]

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

Then:
1. A calendar entry for each appointment: title, date, time, place, what to bring (letter, medicines list), and who's taking them.
2. Reminders for repeat prescriptions as the pharmacy told us.
3. A plan for sharing the calendar: who can make changes and who can just see it.
4. A short weekly check-in message for the family group.
5. Questions to ask at the next appointment, if I've mentioned any worries.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts. UK English. This is help organising, not medical advice: for urgent worries call NHS 111, and in an emergency call 999.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. e.g. Mum: a short note you already have. paste from letters and texts: date, time, place, who with: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
