Table 1. Four level thematic framework

Theme	Explanation^a
1. Individual clinician level factors	How decisions about patient care are informed by perspectives of PCCs on diagnosing and managing gynaecological conditions and symptoms in one-to-one consultation settings.
2. Structural and organisational factors	How the design and management of primary care settings affects the care provided, and how wider issues in secondary care affect primary care.
3. Community and external factors	How wider sociocultural issues and beliefs affect interactions between PCCs and patients.
4. Factors related to gynaecological conditions	How factors related to gynaecological conditions affect interactions between PCCs and patients, specifically where these factors were identified across multiple gynaecological conditions.

^aWe have changed language for ‘endometriosis’ as presented in Dixon et al to more generically ‘gynaecological conditions’ for the purpose of the broader scope of the present study.²⁶ PCC = primary care clinician.
