Declarations
:
: Although this was not ‘medical research’, as research involving human participants it was conducted in compliance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol (PID 16722) was reviewed by the Research Governance, Ethics and Assurance (RGEA) group at the University of Oxford. This institutional review determined that further research ethics review was not required for this survey as it was deemed to be a survey of practice and therefore not subject to the Department of Health’s UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research (2017). Informed consent was obtained from all participants.
