On 27^th January 2016, the Project Advisory Group (PAG) met in Edinburgh to discuss the first results in the eMERGe Project around the review of the existing recommendations & guidance for conducting & reporting each process in a meta-ethnography. The meeting was chaired by Dr S. Blair, now retired Director of the Professional Doctorate Framework at GCU. It was a lively and constructive meeting, which helped shape the project. The PAG is made of academic experts in meta-eta-ethnography, professional users of meta-ethnography and of lay participants. Their participation is key to the project and will help design a reporting guideline for meta-ethnographies to increase the likelihood that their findings are used to improve health care services, decisions, and patient care in the future.
