Radiographers are undertaking roles that are a development and extension of what has traditionally been seen as their remit. As with any development, it is important that such changes in practise have a positive rather than negative effect on patient care and patient experience. This article examines patient perception and level of patient satisfaction of an ‘on-treatment review’ conducted by a site-specific advanced practitioner radiographer instead of an oncology doctor. Overall, the results were positive suggesting that such reviews, when conducted by an appropriately trained individual, can enhance patient care and provide a satisfactory level of support during treatment.
