Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The study was approved by both the Flinders University Social Behavioural Research Ethics Committee (6921) and the Flinders University Research and Evaluation Expert Reference Group (5.15). Ethical approval was provided retrospectively for the both the 2014 and 2015 cohort of medical and physiotherapy students.On the basis of advice from the Ethics committee and the possible concern raised that the student cohort may feel obliged and/or pressured to participate if their participation was sought prior to completion of assessment we sought retrospective data. We did this by sending the participant information sheet and consent form to all students enrolled in the cohort via their student email once all teaching and assessment was completed to avoid any potential for coercion.
