Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethics approval was obtained from NHS Research Ethics Committee (Bradford): 10/H1302/66. Ward managers provided written consent for the ward to take part in the study. All interviewees provided written consent to take part. Short, informant conversations with staff while observing implementation events and activities to clarify meaning or elaborate on decision-making were subject of verbal consent and documented in field notes. The consenting procedure was approved by the Ethics Committee on the basis that focus was on the work involved, not on individuals; that it was not disruptive of routines; it was negotiated with individuals who were free to refuse or withdraw.
: Participants provided consent for publication of de-identified results.
