Preparatory processes undertaken

Preparatory electronic booklet
Summary of vNGT	A summary of the method as outlined in this article to ensure participants were aware of the process.
Questions for the vNGT	The vNGT questions were provided in advance so that participants could consider these prior to the meeting.
Context statement	The context statement was produced to set the scene from which participants were asked to base their ideas [15]. This included a definition of the study population, survivors of stroke with severe disability following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. The setting was defined as home-based rehabilitation (including nursing and residential settings) within the UK NHS.
Literature review	A preliminary scoping review, unpublished, was provided summarising the evidence for survivors of stroke with severe disability. This ensured all participants were up to date on all relevant research and encouraged evidence-based idea generation [15].
