Before sending

A little context.
A considered next step.

For a review or pilot, the first conversation establishes fit. If there is a useful next step, we agree the question, scope, timing and fee before work begins.

Keep your initial note non-confidential. Access and confidentiality arrangements are agreed before sensitive records are shared. For urgent matters, use the appropriate professional or emergency service.
