Table 1 Example of reporting methods for implementation strategies using prerequisites suggested by Proctor et al. [24]

1. Each PT will need to work with the clinic manager and colleagues to have dedicated time to implement. A GLA:D Ireland PT Toolkit to assist with these conversations will detail:

i. Programme evidence,

ii. Programme requirements in terms of time, space, equipment and process mapping,

iii. Alignment with government or international policy and waiting list support,

iv. Opportunities to be involved in research or improve service with data or benchmark patient or clinic outcomes.

Actor: Researchers, lead implementer and clinic managers/colleagues

Action: Researchers produce toolkit and encourage discussion. Lead implementers initiate discussion in clinic and present case.

Target: Meso-level. Number of sites trained and implementing the programme. Nature of feedback from implementers in qualitative interviews.

Temporality: Toolkit presented at training course. Discussion initiated immediately following training. Re-visited as needed.

Dose: Once at initiation of implementation. Re-visited as needed.

Implementation outcome affected: acceptability, adoption, appropriateness

Justification (CFIR barrier addressed): Availability of resources (inner setting), Relative advantage (intervention characteristics)
