• (1) What are your initial thoughts about the proposed content of the draft toolkit?
• (2) Using our study findings, we have drafted content for six key areas:
  1. ‘Supporting the well-being of residents when social distancing’
  2. ‘Supporting the well-being of residents when they are isolating’
  3. ‘Supporting residents and their families and friends to communicate when visiting is not permitted’
  4. ‘Supporting visits from families and friends when visiting is restricted’
  5. ‘Supporting care home staff’
  6. ‘Supporting care home managers’

Overall, do you think these are the right key areas?

• (3) Do you think any key areas are missing?
• (4) For each key area, we have presented content using three headers: ‘What is the issue?’, ‘What are the consequences?’ and ‘Actions to consider’.
  • - Do these headers make sense?
  • - Are the ‘issues’ communicated clearly?
  • - Are the ‘consequences’ written clearly?
  • - Are the ‘actions to consider’ that we have drafted to date clear and meaningful?

If you know of evidence-based resources that we could include, please can you share the link(s), for example, about communicating well with older people living with a dementia.

• - How would you rank these actions in order of importance?
• - Is there anything missing?

• (5) What are your thoughts about how best to organise the proposed content? For example, length, how much detail?

Presentation – for example, use of boxes, speech balloons to illustrate extracts from participants’ interviews, use of colour, infographics.

• (6) For professionals, would you use this in practice?
• (7) How do you think this content can be used by residents, their families and friends?
• (8) If you know of any toolkits that you think are particularly good, it would be very helpful if you can share these with us.
