Methods The methods were based on the standard JLA approach13 and included the stages described in figure 1. This involved establishing the PA PSP, defining its scope and conducting two surveys and a workshop to identify, prioritise and finalise the Top 10 questions.

The patients included PAS staff (n=3), some of whom had affected family members.
