The tertiary centre had a designated mesothelioma team. Twenty-one patients met the inclusion criteria: &gt;18 years, mesothelioma diagnosis and in follow-up care. Non-English speaking participants, those unable to provide written informed consent or those whom the clinical team felt would find participation too distressing were excluded. All participants were white, 71% were 70\u201379 years old and 71% were men. Three consultation meetings were conducted with key stakeholders including mesothelioma nurse specialists, patients with mesothelioma, carers and local clinical commissioning group members.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main outcome measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Specific outcomes were to gain a detailed understanding of mesothelioma follow-up care pathways and processes and to develop coproduced recommendations for practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mesothelioma pathways were not always distinct from lung cancer care pathways. All trusts provided follow-up information and resources but there was varied information on how to access local support groups, research or clinical trial participation. Five themes were developed relating to people; processes; places; purpose and perception of care. Coproduced recommendations for improving mesothelioma follow-up pathways were developed following the consultation meetings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study has developed recommendations which identify the need for patients with pleural mesothelioma to access consistent, specialist, streamlined mesothelioma care, centred around specialist mesothelioma nurses and respiratory consultants, with input from the wider multidisciplinary team.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2020-040679","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,31]],"date-time":"2021-01-31T06:05:12Z","timestamp":1612073112000},"page":"e040679","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Recommendations for improving follow-up care for patients with mesothelioma: a qualitative study comprising documentary analysis, interviews and consultation meetings"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5659-3296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Henshall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4583-3714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zoe","family":"Davey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Walthall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing and Midwifery Research and Innovation, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Services, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitra","family":"Shahidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Medicine, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Amersham, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Medicine, Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, Reading, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Najib","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oxford Centre for Respiratory Medicine, Oxford University, Oxford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025120521121609000_11.1.e040679.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/16000617.0063-2016"},{"key":"2025120521121609000_11.1.e040679.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thoraxjnl-2017-211321"},{"key":"2025120521121609000_11.1.e040679.3","unstructured":"Royal College of Physicians .
