Specialist meeting February 2007

On February 12th and 13th, Antares hosted a specialist meeting which was attended by a group of international associates and the director of Antares Australia. The purpose of the meeting was to further develop and plan for the launch of the guidelines and the pilot study, planned for later in 2007.

During the meeting, updates on the progress of the research project so far were given and some discussion of the next phase of the research, the study of stress in national aid workers, took place. The main focus of discussion, however, was the further development of materials connected with the guidelines and the practicalities concerned with their introduction to study sites, the monitoring of the process of their implementation and the measuring of their outcome within test organizations.

The major decisions which were taken during the meeting were the following: Antares’ immediate priority is to gather the existing teaching material on subjects connected to the guidelines and inventorise the shortfalls. This will then be further developed to create a fully supported, modular training program.

The evaluation process which we are about to undertake will no longer be referred to as the pilot, as this sounds misleadingly like a sort of experiment. A decision remains to be made on the new name.

Draft protocols are high on the agenda for the May meeting in New York.
