Methods description

This dataset encompasses emergency practitioners involved in responding to Covid-19. We used purposive sampling to produce this dataset that includes practitioners from across the UK, working at both national and local levels, and across principal emergency agencies (including local authorities, police forces, ambulance services, fire and rescue services and public health authorities).  

Semi-structured interviews were undertaken remotely (via Microsoft Teams). These interviews were recorded. The recordings were professional transcribed. 

The interviews were then thematically analysed using QSR Nvivo12.
