Table 8. Overview of the synthesised findings: Process.

Planning Which risk factors to use? “The approach needed to invite potential eligible women remained unclear to respondents (14 out of 15); however, they proposed solutions based on available recognized BC risk factors that can be easily collected to pre-select women to be invited. The most recurrent of these were family history, breast density, and age.” [35]
Engaging The role of external change agents “HCPs explained that media output can ‘make or break’ public opinion, especially when communication focuses on changes to NHS services.” [36]
Executing Necessary infrastructure for implementation “This was always viewed as a serious risk given that current infrastructure was referred to as outdated; care should be taken to develop capable IT and administrative systems flexible enough to cope during delivery.” [34]
Reflecting & evaluating “Should a risk-stratified approach be implemented, all participants discussed the need for monitoring procedures to ensure women are invited at the right time and allocated to correct pathways.” [34]
