Template and prompt
Privacy & compliance: Never paste patient names, health details or records into general AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini; use them only to draft generic templates. Send real patient messages through a HIPAA- (US) or GDPR- (EU/UK) compliant system, with a signed BAA or data processing agreement where needed. AI here is for admin and wording only, never for diagnosis or clinical advice. Check your professional body’s rules on consent and marketing.
