10.00 Getting connected as a group and scoping the work that we need to do today
- Why we are here, who is here and what we plan to do today
- What do I mean by a consensus statement and why does it matter to me?
- Scoping the areas and issues that we need to work on today to reach a consensus
11.45 Understanding the issues that need to be resolved and developing recommendations
Once we are clear about the issues that need further work we will work in small groups on separate issues to develop recommendations for the consensus statement.
From this point much depends on the number and complexity of the issues to be resolved so we will need to decide on the day how many rounds of small group work we need and for how long.
