Declarations
:
: Ethical approval for the nephrology study was granted by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Cork Teaching Hospitals at University College Cork (ECM 4 (i) 10/09/2019 & ECM 3 (gg) 12/11/19). All participants completed and signed an informed consent form. For the breast cancer work done in the UK, the patient views (and health professionals’ views for that matter) were intended to support the design of future trials, which puts the consultation in the area of patient and public involvement (PPI) rather than research participation and PPI does not require ethical approval in the UK. Nevertheless, by completing the survey, all participants gave their implied consent to take part.
