Cover SDMs' experience around:~ * withdrawal of life sustaining therapies~ * organ donation among those who were approached (including with the medical team and the organ donation organisation)~ * understanding of the situation~ * views on any gaps in the quantity or quality of information and discussion they received concerning their loved one's end-of-life care or donation process~2. Explore factors they perceived to influence their decision to consent to organ donation or not (or that would have influenced their decision for those not approached), and how such factors may have changed over the course of making this decision and since the decision (or since the event for those not approached)."
