How to join
You will need both: Zoom for the meeting itself, and Slido for voting and written comments.
1. The meeting (Zoom): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87512053017?pwd=MUi3RWwGATyEhDzjfKcXSKAbvWVDt4.1
Meeting ID: 875 1205 3017 Passcode: 566919
2. Voting and written comments (Slido): https://app.sli.do/event/uYNAETiYf9SK9A14Gojcun or go to slido.com and enter the code #3384767. You can also scan this QR code with your phone camera:

Before the workshop
- Please read the two attached guides: one for Zoom and one for Slido. They show each step with pictures.
- Other information:
- Welcome booklet
- Agenda for the day (small changes may still be made)
- Reference materials sheet
- Glossary of terms
- Preparation: minimal to no preparation is needed for the day. Some of you may wish to look through the glossary of terms to become familiar with the terms we will use. You may also wish to explore the rest of this website and our online instrument databases, as these will be the focus of the meeting:
- Aneurysm Obliteration
- Rebleeding
- Cerebral Infarction
- Delayed Cerebral Ischaemia
- Functional Outcomes
- Health-related Quality of Life
- Cognition and Executive Function (in development)
- If you can, install or update the Zoom desktop app, and test your microphone and speakers at zoom.us/test.
- Please prepare to join early (from 07:30 Sydney time) so that any problems can be fixed before we start.
- Dress: the day is casual, and casual attire is fine.
During the workshop
- Your display name: If you are joining online then, on Zoom, please enter your name as First Last – Perspective (Country). Your perspective can be lived experience, clinician, researcher, or other; you are welcome to list more than one. For example: “Jane Smith – Lived experience (Australia)” or “Raj Patel – Clinician, Researcher (Canada)”. The Zoom guide shows how to change it once you have joined.
- Speaking: everyone will be muted on arrival. To speak, use Raise Hand (under React). Our moderator, Gordon Fernie, will invite you to unmute when it is your turn.
- Zoom chat is for messages to Gordon Fernie only, for example a technical problem or a request to speak. Please select his name when you send a message. Written comments go in the General Discussion room in Slido.
- Slido: each domain session has its own Slido room. During the day, Gordon Fernie will open questions in these rooms for you to answer. The General Discussion room is open all day for written comments, for example if you would prefer not to interrupt the meeting.
- Your experience and perspective: many of you bring personal experience of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), whether as a patient, family member, clinician, or researcher, and we are grateful that you are giving your time to be with us. Because the day is focused on reaching agreement on how each domain should be measured and the time we have available is short, unfortunately we are not able to include time for sharing the details of what brought everyone here or each individual’s personal story. We would ask instead that you bring your experience into the opinions you share, both when you speak and when you vote. Your perspective is central to this work, and we want to hear it. If you would like to share your story, our partners at the Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF) offer many valuable resources: anyone can share their story on the BAF website (Share Your Story), and you can connect with others through the BAF Online Support Community.
- Side conversations: if you would like to speak with another participant without interrupting the meeting, send a chat message to Gordon Fernie. He can move you both into a separate Zoom room.
- Recording: the main Zoom session will be recorded. Separate Zoom rooms are not recorded.
Help on the day
If you have trouble joining, please email gfernie@ohri.ca or bevshea35@gmail.com. Once you are in Zoom, send a chat message to Gordon Fernie.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
The SAH COS executive committee (Shane English, Chris Andersen, Maria Luisa Marti, Justin Presseau, Bev Shea)
