Patient and public involvement
FCD
The research design has been informed by our PPI representatives who were recruited from earlier pilots of the intervention conducted within the SWLSTG Neuropsychiatry Service. They assisted in the development of the intervention, study methodology and review of clinical outcome measures. Two PPI participants (SB and MS) have been recruited to the TSC and are funded to assist with reviewing study materials, writing and developing patient information leaflets, producing the semistructured interview schedules for the qualitative study, and ensuring proper conduct of the study. We will document PPI activity over the course of the study in order to accurately assess where and how the lived experience perspective has been used and its impact on the research process and findings. All PPI representatives have lived experience of FCD and the proposed ACT intervention.
