I'm not suggesting sequential consultation analysis...I am only
confirming that if you want to capture the diversity of questions (to
ensure that you have a good reflection of what is really happening)
then a grounded approach which enlists open ended, relatively
undefined input from a variety of GPs is best in the first instance.
To attempt to categorise before you know what the categories are
limits the analysis.
So it's about looking at everyone's snapshot and deriving categories
from their snapshots.
