Description
Fay Manning and co-authors report a 2026 survey study on imaging care as felt by larger bodied patients in the United Kingdom. Staff views have been studied before, but patient views are less known. The team asked adults to share their most striking visit for scans or radiation treatment and what could improve.
Ninety two people replied through social media links. Most wrote about scans, and some wrote about radiation care. Themes covered life before, during, and after visits, plus broad social views and ideas for change. Poor fit of gear, blunt staff remarks, and blame left some people avoiding care. Good practice gave others hope for future visits.
