The Society of Radiographers warns that patients filming their medical treatments for social media poses risks to both NHS staff and patient privacy. As more patients take videos during procedures without consent, staff report increased anxiety and distraction. The society highlights incidents where recordings have occurred without prior approval, raising concerns about publicizing sensitive medical data. Healthcare professionals are pressured during treatments, and unwanted filming can lead to significant stress, impacting their performance and focus in critical care settings.
I had one patient whose relative started filming while I was trying to set up; it wasn't the right time - I was trying to focus on delivering the treatment.
I spent the weekend afterwards worrying: did I do my job properly? I know I did, but no-one's perfect all of the time.
