​Acknowledgements:
We would also like to thank the Medicines for Children Research Network, part of the National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network for their help in recruiting people for this study. They provide researchers with the practical support they need to make clinical studies happen in the NHS, so that more research takes place across England, and more patients can take part.’

Many thanks to:
All the children and young people who shared their experiences, to the researchers, clinicians, research nurses, charities and other organisations including research and development departments, who helped us recruit parents and to Louise Locock for help with data analysis.
