Consultation template
A skeleton for the encounter and the letter that follows it. Headings in the order you actually ask them, with fields left empty.
- Consultation template Asthma review The routine review, ordered so that control, technique and adherence are settled before anyone reaches for the next inhaler.
- Consultation template Difficult asthma assessment The systematic assessment that has to be done before asthma is called severe, and before anyone uses the word biologic.
- Consultation template New asthma patient First assessment, built around the objective test that confirms the diagnosis and the four things that predict the next attack.
- Consultation template New bronchiectasis patient First assessment: the history that points at a cause, the severity markers, and the treatable traits worth finding early.
- Consultation template New respiratory outpatient The general clerking skeleton every other consultation template on this site is built on, with performance status and a smoking record that counts.
- Consultation template Respiratory follow-up review The general follow-up skeleton: what has changed, what the tests show, and what the plan is now - with an explicit discharge question.
- Consultation template COPD review The review that checks the things that change outcomes before it checks the inhaler, and asks the oxygen and palliative questions on time.
- Consultation template New COPD patient First assessment, with the spirometry that confirms it, the exacerbation history that grades it, and the interventions that actually change outcomes.
- Consultation template New interstitial lung disease patient The exposure, drug and connective tissue history that makes the diagnosis, in the detail the ILD MDT will ask for.
- Consultation template Suspected lung cancer First clinic assessment, written so the letter contains everything the MDT will ask for - starting with performance status.
- Consultation template Pulmonary nodule surveillance plan The record of what was found, what the risk score said, and exactly when the next scan is due and who is arranging it.
- Consultation template Undiagnosed unilateral pleural effusion The workup in the order that avoids the two classic errors: draining before imaging, and sending too little fluid.
- Consultation template Suspected obstructive sleep apnoea The sleep history with the scores that decide priority, and the driving question asked properly.
- Consultation template Smoking, vaping and what was offered A record of treatment offered rather than advice given, in the form an audit and the next clinician can both read.
