The decision
Maintain one approved source and a coordinated update process for website pages and communication templates. Ask the responsible service to decide how already-booked patients should be informed.
Rehearse this before accepting the change
Update a fictional instruction in staging and compare all related messages.
Use fictional examples and an authorised test environment. Record what happened, the evidence you inspected and any issue that still needs a responsible owner.
Choose a useful measure
Track contradictory versions found in active communication templates.
Agree the definition and baseline with the team doing the work. Review the result over a comparable period and note other changes that could affect it.
Your planning worksheet
Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
