The methodology was deployed by an international and interdisciplinaryteam from the Healthy Living for Pandemic Event Protection (HL- PIVOT) network. This teamwere all engaged in responding to the Pandemic either on the ‘front-line’ and/or in leadershippositions ensuring the currency and authenticity of the process.
