Translate a Confusing NHS Letter into Next Steps

An NHS letter lands, full of department names and dates and terms you do not recognise, and you are not sure if you need to do anything. This reads it as a patient advocate would: what the letter is asking you to do, what the jargon means in plain English, and the deadlines you cannot miss. Good for anyone holding correspondence they cannot parse.

<context>
