 3. Wider outreach discussion
   - We discussed the need explicitly to include PPI in the discussion of this item.
   - GJ reminded us of the document that HH and he had drafted on a PPI strategy.  He commented that the strategy needs to be updated to adapt to the current situation.
   - HH emphasised the need to take a broad approach and asked for input on the benefits  of the LhARA programme to medical and other science and societal areas.  We decided to use a SLACK channel to share information and especially in the first instance to share ideas about the benefits of the LhARA programme in the broadest sense.
   - TP set up a slack channel for LhARA at:
