Held over three hours, the focus group will be divided in to two sections.

In section two, each participant will be provided with a laptop within which HealthPathways will be accessible. Given 4 scenarios designed to test the tool's usability, focus group members will be asked to comment on their experience of using HealthPathways to answer clinical and referral questions both "on their own" and while seeing a "simulated patient."
