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:
{{paste anonymised notes here}}
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."
