Patient and public engagement
Prior to the study, the development of the research question was informed by patient’s priorities and preferences. Staff and patients were involved in the planning of the study and in designing the intervention including the selection of videos for viewing. Patients and public representatives were not involved in the recruitment or the conduct of the study. Interviews and focus group discussions gathering information on the implementation, acceptability and content of the virtual reality videos viewed with clinical staff, was done to get an understanding of factors that might influence participation in a definitive trial.
