We would like to acknowledge our service user and staff participants at all our sites who gave up their time to contribute their invaluable insight to the study.
Members of our LEAP and the independent project steering committee also gave generously of their experiences, expertise and wisdom to improve the quality of our research, in particular the members of the LEAP who contributed directly to the interpretation of study data through their hands-on involvement in analysis and synthesis workshops.
We would like to thank the principal investigators and management, clinical, and research and development teams at each of our study sites who regularly took time out of their incredibly busy days to support and facilitate the research.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the business intelligence teams and data officers within each trust who patiently and professionally responded to our never-ending demands for more data, different data and even more data, without who the study would not have been possible.
