4. Activity 1 - Emma's agenda
It's important to ensure that the agenda is not too cluttered and that things to be discussed can be covered in the time available. There may be far more potential items on an agenda than time allows. Try the following activity to formulate an agenda for Emma's ward round.
From the list of potential agenda items, drag and drop those you think are most important onto the agenda, placing them onto the clipboard, deciding whether it could be dealt with inside or outside of the ward round meeting. Keep an eye on the clock as you only have a limited amount of time available to complete this task.
