- 1. An immediate verbal response for the initial conversation
- 2. A formal written response letter that acknowledges, explains (without over-defending), apologises appropriately, and outlines corrective action

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use when responding to patient or family complaints, concerns, or expressions of dissatisfaction — verbally or in writing.

PRO TIP

An early, genuine acknowledgement ('I can see why you are upset and I want to understand what happened') resolves the majority of patient complaints before they escalate to formal processes.
