Meetings

The Advisory Committee will usually meet 5-6 times per year.  However, the Chair may call meetings more frequently if required. The Committee will operate on a consensus model for decision-making.  Members may be represented for any particular meeting by a proxy.  A quorum is considered to be 50% plus one of formally nominated representatives or their proxies.  Rather than formal minutes, a simple record of agreements and action items will be made by the Minutes Secretary, verified by the Chair and distributed to members as soon as practicable after each meeting.

Membership

The membership of the Advisory Committee includes the core Interprofessional and Simulation-Based Learning Team from Health IDEAS and at least one representative from each School in the Health Group, nominated by the relevant Deputy Head of School (Learning & Teaching), as well as a representative from Learning Futures and a student representative. Key academic and professional staff from across the University, as well as from health service partners, whose work includes a focus on interprofessional or simulation-based learning, may be invited to join the committee by its chair.
