Prompt: Pre-Consultation Case Summary

A prompt to quickly generate a structured summary of a patient's fertility history before a new or review consultation.

Prompt: Pre-Consultation Case Summary

The Prompt

Summarise the following fertility case history for a pre-consultation briefing. Structure it as:

1. Background: age, relevant history (no name or identifying details)
2. Investigations: key findings
3. Treatment history: what has been tried and what the outcomes were
4. Current situation
5. Outstanding questions or unexplained findings

Use bullet points within each section. Keep it factual and concise โ€” this is a working summary, not a formal document. Here are the notes:

Privacy reminder: Before pasting, remove the patient's name, date of birth, hospital number, GP details, and any other identifying information. This is essential โ€” treat an AI tool like a shared screen in a public space.

Why This Works

Giving the AI a clear five-part structure means the output is consistent and easy to scan before a consultation. Specifying "factual and concise" prevents the AI from adding interpretation or narrative that you have not asked for and may not be accurate.

How to Tweak It

  • To focus on a specific question for the consultation, add: "The main question for today's consultation is: . Highlight any information in the notes that is most relevant to this."
  • To produce a shorter snapshot, change the instruction to: "Summarise in no more than 10 bullet points total."
