This event is similar to the question and answer panel, but there will be a maximum of 250 attendees. As well as being able to ask questions via the chat function within Microsoft Teams, this time you will also be able to ask questions using the “raise hand” function and you will be able to see other attendees. Most of the events of this type will cover all aspects of the consultation. There may also be some that just focus on one particular aspect, for example maternity.
