ABSTRACT
Judith Hughes uses this chapter as a mindlines lens to reveal the social processes that led a guidelines committee to their consensus decisions about guidance and recommendations. She too found that the group was using and changing their clinical mindlines as the discussions proceeded over a series of meetings. However, her observations particularly focused on how the committee developed and used ‘process mindlines’, including ‘chairing mindlines’ in their deliberations. This emergent collective way of ‘doing’ the guideline development process impacted on the resulting guidance.
