Despite teething problems, I think NTNM is fab, especially for the massive background work obtaining and preparing material - and a possible NHS model. Below is an invite to complete a survey on the use of email in care settings. Deadline is 5 October - apologies for the short notice. This is not directly related to NHS England's Accessible Information Standard - featured on this week's In Touch programme (BBC Radio 4, 8.40pm, Tue 30 Sept). However, Professor Carpenter (author of the below) and I are advisory Group members on that work too. Many, many thanks for your help, Howard (Leicester).
