The Nuclear Medicine department has worked extensively with a patient ‘lay panel’ to develop patient information films for information prior to PET/CT & PET/MRI. The development of these films was described for a journal article published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, in which the patient’s involvement was acknowledged. These films are available to patients identified as eligible for particular research studies, to increase recruitment and to potentially improve the experience of participation.
