Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Has any professional raised a concern about development?” is Yes, “Who raised it, and what was said?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Are immunisations up to date?” is No, “Which ones are outstanding, and why?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is support already in place at school or nursery?” is Yes, “What support is in place?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Does the child take any medication?” is Yes, “Medication and doses” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Paediatric intake covers ground adult forms do not, and it is completed by someone answering on another person's behalf. This three-page form is written for a parent or carer. The first page records the child, the adults who hold parental responsibility, who else may bring the child to appointments, and the school or nursery. The second covers birth and development: pregnancy and delivery in brief, birth weight, feeding as a baby, whether milestones came in the expected range and any concern raised by another professional, immunisations to date, and previous illness, surgery or admissions. The third page turns to now — the concern that prompted the appointment, how long it has been present, how it affects sleep, eating, school and play, current medication and allergies, and any support already in place through school or another service. It ends with consent from the adult with parental responsibility to assess and treat, recorded with their relationship and signature. Nothing in the form assesses development; it gives the clinician the parent's account before the child is seen.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 4 conditional rules, grouped into 4 behaviours driven by 4 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Has any professional raised a concern about development?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Has any professional raised a concern about development?” is Yes, “Who raised it, and what was said?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Are immunisations up to date?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Are immunisations up to date?” is No, “Which ones are outstanding, and why?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Is support already in place at school or nursery?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Is support already in place at school or nursery?” is Yes, “What support is in place?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Does the child take any medication?

  • Makes answers required

    If “Does the child take any medication?” is Yes, “Medication and doses” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Ask who may bring the child

    Naming the adults who can attend prevents an appointment being turned away and prevents one being given to someone who should not have it.

  2. 2

    Keep the birth section short

    A few lines about pregnancy and delivery is enough for most appointments; a full obstetric history belongs elsewhere.

  3. 3

    Ask what the concern affects

    Sleep, eating, school and play give a clinician the functional picture that a description of symptoms alone does not.

  4. 4

    Take consent from the right adult

    The consent question asks about parental responsibility explicitly, so record relationship rather than assuming the accompanying adult holds it.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Using an adult intake form for children and missing development, immunisation and school context entirely.
  • Accepting consent from whoever brought the child without recording their relationship or authority.
  • Asking about milestones with no space for the parent to describe what they noticed.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Read the intake before the appointment, flag outstanding immunisations and any professional concern raised, and confirm who holds parental responsibility on the record.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the pediatric intake form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Privacy & compliance

This form collects health information. Keep access limited to the people who need it, turn on encrypted answers for the clinical questions, and set a retention window so records don't sit in the dashboard forever.

Frequently asked questions

Who should complete this form?

An adult with parental responsibility, because the last page records their consent. Where another adult brings the child, name them in the attendance question instead.

Is it suitable for teenagers?

Older children may want to answer for themselves, and many services take a separate account from the young person. Use the Patient Intake Questionnaire alongside it in that case.

Why ask about school support?

Because it tells you what has already been tried and who else is involved, which changes both the assessment and who should receive a copy of any plan.

Does it assess development?

No. It records what the parent reports and what other professionals have said. Any developmental assessment is a clinical activity, not a form output.

Is the Pediatric Intake Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Pediatric Intake Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

What does the Pediatric Intake Form template ask for?

It asks 28 questions across 3 pages, 17 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Can I edit the Pediatric Intake Form form after copying it?

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.

How does the conditional logic in this healthcare & clinical form work?

4 conditional rules ship with the template: Features conditional validation: if “Has any professional raised a concern about development?” is Yes, “Who raised it, and what was said?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. Features conditional validation: if “Are immunisations up to date?” is No, “Which ones are outstanding, and why?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. Features conditional validation: if “Is support already in place at school or nursery?” is Yes, “What support is in place?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.

Where do responses to the Pediatric Intake Form form go?

Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.

Can I embed the Pediatric Intake Form form on my own website?

Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
