Number of facilitators and Group Size
As with face to face DESMOND Let’s Prevent Diabetes (LPD), virtual LPD is delivered by two Facilitators. When you are delivering a session your co-Facilitator may:
Assist participants who lose connection
Assist participants who may arrive late to the session
Address any issues generated from the ‘Chat’ function
Assist by generating ‘virtual flip charts’ of beliefs/ comments made by participants
Assist by screen sharing the visual resources whilst their co-facilitator is delivering the session
Current guidance on social distancing will need to be followed, therefore Facilitators may need to log in and use separate devices in separate rooms.
We suggest starting with a small number of participants (a minimum of four), increasing group size as facilitator confidence and experience increases, to a maximum of 10 participants plus guest on the same login.
