Declarations
:
: Post-discussion with the Faculty of Medicine Health and Life Sciences Research Ethics Committee, Queen’s University Belfast, the outcome was that the included survey questions constituted Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) rather than research and did not require further ethical approval. As the Ethics Committee deemed this did not require ethics - this was waivered by the named Institution (Queen’s University Belfast), therefore, we did not pursue written consent from stakeholders. Participants were clearly informed what the responses would be used for i.e., identifying areas for future research or to identify or share areas of good practice. Consent was assumed if an individual continued to complete the questionnaire after reading the statement on what their responses would be used for. No identifiable data was collected.
