Stakeholder Involvement

Stakeholder involvement is used because practical and experiential knowledge can improve relevance and test whether proposed configurations make sense in real settings. The review will create advisory groups during its first stage. A patient and public involvement group will provide patient and carer perspectives throughout the review. The multidisciplinary advisory group will include healthcare professionals, service managers, education leads, and professional or regulatory representatives. The multidisciplinary advisory group will help refine review questions, develop programme theory, interpret configurations, and co-produce recommendations. The patient and public involvement group will help clarify patient-important outcomes and assess whether mechanisms and contexts match lived experience.
