Semi-structured focus groups with nursing and allied health professionals were conducted at three large Australian hospitals. To gain a deep understanding of health professional views and experiences of hospital falls prevention education, an explorative and descriptive qualitative design was selected [32, 33]. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and ideas across participant data [32, 34]. A descriptive qualitative approach to data analysis allowed major themes to be captured [17]. A focus group design was chosen as it allowed for new insights that can arise from participant interactions [35, 36].
