Instructions & enquiries
A clear start.
A considered next step.
Discuss a potential life expectancy instruction with the Nellie Supports team. An outline of the report’s purpose, the questions and any deadline helps establish what is needed.
For your initial enquiry
Keep the summary general. Ask the team how to share confidential records and identifying case information securely once the next steps have been agreed.
If there is a court deadline, make it clear when you contact the team.

Instruction checklist
The information
that helps.
You do not need to have every document ready to make an initial enquiry. The team can discuss what is relevant to the particular instruction.
- The purpose of the report and who will rely on it
- The specific life expectancy questions to be answered
- Any relevant court order, directions and deadline
- An outline of the medical and care records available
- Relevant functional information and previous expert reports
- The instructing party’s details and arrangements for payment
What happens next
From enquiry

The purpose, relevant expertise, potential conflicts and questions are considered.
- 02
Agree the scope
Confirm fees, reporting format, records required and the anticipated timetable.
- 03
Provide the instruction
Follow the agreed arrangements for the formal instruction and secure sharing of evidence.
