: Informed consent for this study was obtained in writing from all participants prior to taking part in the interviews, using the Plain Language Statement (Appendix ) and Consent Form (Appendix ). When booking the interviews, potential participants received brief general information about the nature and purpose of the study, and immediately before the interview they were given the Plain Language Statement, which outlined why the research was being conducted, what participation involved, how their data would be used, and any foreseeable risks or burdens. After having the opportunity to read this information and ask questions, participants were asked to sign the Consent Form, which recorded their written consent to participate in the interview and to allow their data to be used for research and publication purposes in anonymised form. The dates for informed consent aligned with the interview dates, throughout 2022. All participants were adults capable of providing informed consent in their own right; no minors or other vulnerable groups were included in the study, and participants were explicitly assured that their anonymity would be protected in all publications and that they could withdraw at any time without negative consequences.
