Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The current evaluation has a number of limitations. First, we were only able to engage five of the nine members of staff who had been in the FLO role. The four who were not represented may have not agreed to participate because they had a different perspective of the role that they were not willing to share so we could potentially have a biased view of the role. Similarly, we were only able to interview seven colleagues who worked alongside the FLOs so there could be other views not captured in these data. Secondly, this evaluation focused on the FLOs who were based in COVID-19 ward areas not in critical care or high dependency units. These FLOs were mostly medical backgrounds, who have a different style of communication to nurses and youth workers (19). The types of information and manner in which they delivered this could therefore have been different.

Despite these limitations, this evaluation indicated that there was benefit of providing a dedicated role to maintain and improve communication between healthcare teams and families during a crisis and is one of but a few emerging in response to COVID-19.
