Some barriers were typical implementation issues (eg, funding, policies, openness to change). This study further highlighted the challenges associated with implementing a complex intervention like VR (eg, inadequate networking\/communication, poor service provision, perceived VR priority). Our intervention was developed to overcome these barriers through adapting a therapist training package, and by providing early contact with patient\/employer, a psychological component alongside occupational therapy, case coordination\/central point of contact, and support crossing sector boundaries (eg, between health\/employment\/welfare).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Findings informed the implementation of our VR intervention within the complex trauma pathway.
