Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the University of Melbourne (School of Health Sciences Human Ethics Advisory Group; Ethics ID 1545475). The University of Melbourne ethics committee provided ethical approval for recruitment of doctors from overseas because of the low-risk nature of the study, and the practical implications of obtaining ethics from multiple countries for the recruitment of small numbers of health professional participants (ie one doctor per site). Further, the participant recruitment strategy detailed above precluded us from pre-emptively knowing which countries we would recruit from and prospectively apply for ethical approval from each country. All participants provided written, informed consent prior to interview.
