    • Provenance and peer review The Guideline Development Group held regular meetings over the period from December 2007 to January 2010. The draft guideline was presented at the BTS Winter Meeting in December 2009 and circulated to a number of stakeholders for consultation and review. The revised draft guideline was submitted to the BTS Standards of Care Committee for review and published online for a month (in March 2010) to allow for BTS member and public consultation. All the feedback was reviewed and discussed by the Guideline Committee and incorporated into the revised draft guideline.
