- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. An in-depth understanding of healthcare professionals’ perspectives and experiences of long-term post-bariatric surgery care measured using qualitative interviews informed by theoretical frameworks for understanding behaviour: COM-B and TDF, and using the Framework Method for analysis<br>2. A co-produced system map (with key stakeholders), which will facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the complex healthcare issue of long-term care after bariatric surgery, measured using online stakeholder workshops during which the system map is developed and refined in real time, with some additional refinement after the workshops using thematic analysis of workshop transcripts<br>3. Identified and agreed priorities and key design elements for a future intervention to improve long-term care after bariatric surgery measured using panel meetings with key stakeholders, which will be informed by the earlier work packages<br>
