Participant recruitment and data collection
Potential participants were informed about the study either by a member of the integrated care centre team at pre-assessment (intervention group) or by their general practitioners (control group). Interested potential participants were then approached by the research team when attending their appointment at the Integrated Care Centre (intervention group) or at home (control group). If interested and willing to participate, they provided written or witnessed verbal informed consent. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics (including functional status) were collected at baseline; data on wellbeing and quality of life were collected at baseline, 2-4 weeks, and 10-14 weeks. All data collection was undertaken between April 2019 and March 2020.
