When to use it

Set up once, update after appointments

Step by step

  1. Create a private document

    Make a Google Docs or Word file stored in your own account, not a shared folder, and turn on two-step verification for that account.

  2. Get a simple template

    Ask your AI assistant for a structure, then fill in the real details yourself in the document, not in the chat.

    Prompt to copyCreate a blank template for a family health record I'll fill in myself. For each person include sections for: allergies and reactions, current medicines (name, dose, who prescribed), vaccinations with dates, ongoing conditions, past operations, GP and dentist contact, upcoming appointments, and notes from recent appointments. Add a short 'emergency summary' box at the top of each person's section. Use headings and tables, with placeholder text only.
  3. Fill it in from official records

    Copy details from red books, vaccination records, prescription labels and your GP surgery's app or patient portal.

  4. Link appointments

    Add appointments to Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar and put the appointment notes in the record afterwards.
