Declarations

:

: Under UK ‘Governance Arrangements for Research Ethics Committees’, ethical research committee review is not required for service evaluation or research which elicits the views, experiences and knowledge of healthcare professionals. This project would qualify as a service evaluation with NHS staff, recruited as research participants by virtue of their professional roles and the requirement for ongoing professional development. This does not require ethical review from an established NHS research ethics committee.

: Not applicable.

: I declare that the authors have no competing interests as defined by BMC, or other interests that might be perceived to influence the results and/or discussion reported in this paper.
