Healthcare leaders and professionals’ perspectives of the ICON programme to prevent abusive head trauma in infants: a qualitative study
Staff are willing and able to deliver the ICON programme, including, where necessary, delivering the key messages in a format acceptable to families varying situations, if given the workload and training to do so. Those in leadership positions influence the likelihood of successful adoption, delivery and longer-term mainstreaming, if they are able to prioritise the programme. Understanding the barriers and facilitators to ICON's delivery has the potential to inform policy by facilitating the uptake of the programme by settings, enabling delivery of ICON to reach the needs of local families, and ensuring sustainability of the ICON programme.
