Table 1 The principles of implementation science guiding this study (adopted from Pronovost et al. [36])

1

The relevant practitioners should agree that the problem matters, and therefore that the response is warranted.

2

The evidence supporting or informing the requested practices should be convincing.

3

The tasks required should make sense, be possible to perform and preferably be easy to do.

4

Buy-in and support should be obtained at all levels, notably from practitioners and from senior clinical and managerial leadership: to this end as much engagement as possible should occur with all relevant participants at every stage of the implementation process.

5

Once the intervention has been agreed to, compliance should not be negotiable.
