Compliance checklist
- Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Medical disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Information you share here is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

Who this template is for
Patient Intake Form is built for teams with a niche process that generic forms don't cover who need to capture reproducible detail on first contact.
- Teams with a niche process that generic forms don't cover working in healthcare, legal & specialized.
- Teams who need to capture reproducible detail on first contact without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing requests that need three replies before work can start with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the specific group this workflow serves — the form asks them 20 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of requests that need three replies before work can start and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Do you smoke?” is Current smoker, the form dynamically exposes “Past surgeries or hospitalisations”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Alcohol consumption” is Daily, the form dynamically exposes “Family medical history”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Existing conditions” includes Diabetes, “Current medications and dosages” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Intake completed in the waiting room is intake completed badly: rushed, half-remembered and often illegible. Sent ahead as a link, the same questions get answered at the kitchen table with the medicine cabinet open. This template runs in three parts. Patient details cover name, date of birth, contact routes, address and preferred pronouns. Medical history takes the reason for the visit, current medications and dosages, known allergies, existing conditions as a checklist rather than a memory test, past surgeries, family history and the lifestyle questions that change clinical advice. The final page covers insurance details, an emergency contact, a consent statement and a signature, so the record arrives complete rather than needing a chase. Every question is editable, which matters because intake is specialty-specific — a physiotherapy clinic and a dental practice keep different halves of this form. Configure who can see submissions before you publish it, and check the wording of the consent statement against your own regulator's requirements; this is a template, not legal or clinical advice.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Copy it and trim to your specialty
Delete the history questions that do not change your clinical decisions; keep the ones that do.
- 2
Replace the consent wording
Use the consent statement your practice has approved rather than the sample text.
- 3
Send it before the appointment
Email the link with the appointment confirmation so the form is completed at home.
- 4
Restrict who can read it
Limit submission access to clinical staff and export to the patient record after the visit.
Mistakes to avoid
- Handing it out at the desk, which produces the least accurate medication list you will ever read.
- Leaving the sample consent wording in place instead of your own approved statement.
- Giving the whole team access to submissions when only clinical staff need it.
What to do with the responses
Review the history before the appointment, export the PDF into the patient record, and delete the submission once it has been filed.
