The caucus

Goals we set together — and measure together

Every Better Body & Mind plan is agreed in caucus: you, your clinician and the evidence in the same room. Each milestone below is informed by your assessment and your real circumstances, and each carries targets you can actually see move.

Tailor this timeline

Answer four quick questions and the milestones below adjust to your assessment focus and your circumstances.

Privacy notice

This tailoring runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us, not stored on any server and not used for marketing — they only re-calculate the targets shown on this page, and they disappear when you clear them or close the tab. Nothing here is a medical record; your clinical data is only ever captured in consultation.
