Are you are a professional invited to attend a Gateway Meeting for the first time? Maybe you have taken up a new post which requires you to represent your employing organisation as a Gateway Member?
Or perhaps you have heard about Gateway via your work and would simply like to know more fast?
We have collated some quick reference, visual resources for review by busy professionals who need to understand the practical requirements of the model quickly:
Process information, a visual introduction to Gateway, covering key points concerning the model
Gateway Chair Role Description, covering expectations concerning the Chair’s role
Gateway Member Role Description, covering expectations concerning the role of Members
We have also developed a fictional situation against Gateway templates for guidance:
A guide to the Gateway Situation Background Assessment and Recommendations template (SBAR)
