For each trial, one TSC meeting and one TMG meeting in the study period were targeted for observation by the researcher. Detailed field notes were taken during and after the meetings, guided by an observation schedule [30]. Semi-structured interviews were conducted either face-to-face or by telephone, before or after the observed meetings, according to participant availability and preference. Topic guides were developed and used to guide interviews and included questions relating to PPI (Table 1) [29].

Patient and Public Involvement related questioning within interviews*

Written informed consent was provided by all committee members and interview participants, in advance of each observation or interview. All observations and interviews were undertaken by one qualitative researcher (AD) and recorded and transcribed verbatim.
