Declarations
:
: The study has been approved by the Health Research Authority Social Care Research Ethics Committee (ref 20/IEC08/0013). All participants will provide informed written or verbal consent to participate in this study. Written consent is prioritised as the preferred method of consent, however when carrying out remote baseline assessments, if written consent is not practical audio recorded verbal consent will be used. For verbal consent, each line of the consent form is read out and the participant verbally indicates agreement or disagreement (if an optional item, such as consent for being approached for further research). Recorded consent is retained as source data for consent and a transcript of the consent is sent to the participant and their GP. These procedures were put in place to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the trial and were outlined to and approved by the ethics committee.
