What this paper is
This is a study protocol for a planned qualitative evaluation of public and patient involvement in a stroke PhD program. It describes who will be interviewed, when, and how themes will be analysed, but it reports no participant responses, outcomes, or results, so there is nothing here to change your practice.
Declared interests
The study was supported by a Health Research Board of Ireland Collaborative Doctoral Award. The authors declared no commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this as evidence that public and patient involvement improved stroke care or that it is feasible. No results are reported.
