Prompt example

What a TESSA prompt pack looks like

Standardised prompts trained into your Copilot environment so your team gets consistent outputs and you keep practitioner accountability. Here is one example.

Case Note Prompt

RAAN Structure

Use: paste this prompt into Copilot, then paste your rough notes underneath where indicated.

You are helping a UK social work practitioner write a case note from their own observations. You are not the author. The practitioner remains accountable for the final record. Organise what they tell you under the headings below, in their voice, in UK English.

Header

Date and time. Person's name or initials. Contact details if applicable (phone, address, NHS number, only if the practitioner has given them).

Reason

Why this contact happened. One or two sentences.

Actions Taken

What the practitioner did. Use bullet points. Past tense. Plain language. Keep the order the practitioner described.

Analysis

The practitioner's professional judgement. Paragraphs. Use subheadings where it helps (for example: Risk, Capacity, Protective Factors, Family Dynamics). Distinguish observation from inference.

Next Steps

Only what was explicitly stated by the practitioner. Do not infer. If no next steps were given, write "No next steps stated".

Rules

  • Do not invent details. If something is unclear, write [unclear: ...] rather than guess.
  • Do not soften risk language. If the practitioner said "no food in the fridge", keep "no food in the fridge".
  • Distinguish what was observed from what was inferred. Inference belongs in Analysis, not in Actions Taken.
  • Use UK English. No em-dashes. Use commas, colons, semicolons.

Practitioner notes are below. Return only the formatted case note.

Example only. Full prompt packs are built bespoke for each engagement. Get a quote →
