Turn consultation notes into a patient letter

After a big consultation, someone has to write it up for the patient. The options, the risks, the costs, what happens next. In most practices that someone is you, at 9pm, after a full list.

This guide turns your notes into a warm, plain English letter in about twenty minutes. The AI writes the first draft. You stay the clinician and the editor, and nothing goes out until you have read every line.

Patient data: No names, dates of birth, addresses, NHS numbers, photos or x rays go into the chat. Switch off model training first. Claude: Settings, Privacy, "Help improve Claude" off. ChatGPT: Settings, Data controls, "Improve the model for everyone" off. If you'll do this every week, use a business plan (Claude Team or Enterprise, ChatGPT Business or Enterprise), which comes with a data processing agreement, and note the workflow in your practice data protection records.
