DesignNominal group technique: The participants in the group followed a structured stepwise process of introduction, silent idea generation, each participant presenting ideas in turn, open discussion and priority voting based on common themes generated during the discussion. This was followed by the creation of a model covering the important aspects of mentoring for BME healthcare professionals.
