Can I sign up to the trial?
Eligible participants will be referred by the clinical team need at one of the three participating sites. Interested people should discuss with a member of their clinical team.
What is involved?
1. Signing up to the study: At the 30-day post-transplant medical review, a member of the team will discuss the study and provide a person with written information if the person is interested in taking part. If eligible and willing to take part, and if clinically indicated, a person will be recruited into the study.
The person will be asked to provide written informed consent, and will undertake a baseline assessment.
2. Randomisation: After the baseline assessment, the person will be allocated randomly (by chance using a computer programme) to one of two sleep study types:
1. Usual care and a multidisciplinary intervention (exercise, nutrition, behaviour change)
2. Usual care and no additional prescribed intervention
3. Treatment: The treatment period (either intervention or usual care) will continue for 8 weeks.
4. Follow Up: From week 9 onwards, the person will be asked to return for a follow-up assessment.
All participants will be asked to complete assessments again 12 months.
