How to brief and prepare new members joining an existing panel. When relationships are already established, it can be difficult for a new person to integrate into the group and start working at the same level. Involve experienced panel members in induction for new members. They can contribute by reflecting on what training they would have found helpful and providing some of the training themselves.
