HCP/academic panel views on how HCPs should be trained to deliver the intervention (Stage 3)

Questions posed	HCPs/academic panel views
Who to train?	Lead HCP at each site. Whole MDT receive broader, less in-depth training
Who to deliver training?	Psychologist or another trained professional from outside the MDT
Intensity of training?	Lead at each site receiving 4 × 2 h sessions, 2 to 3 weeks apart. Mentoring and support via email or telephone ‘hotline.’ MDT should receive a half-day training session.
Format of training?	Problem-based learning in a group setting using role plays and case studies
Setting?	Convenient location for HCPs
Additional comments	Content of HCP training not defined. It was noted that training on BCTs would need to be tailored to this specific intervention.
