The pre-MRI screening process: what are your thoughts?
This stage of the project has now concluded, here's some feedback from the project lead:
The responses from this page have created a whole new area of my proposal that had not been considered previously. This input has transformed the project: it has been discussed in my PPIE group and we have developed new ideas as a result. So, thank you to everyone who has contributed.

Everyone who enters an MRI scan must be safety screened. This involves investigating whether the patient has any medical implants and/or foreign objects on or within their person that could be unsafe. For those with communication difficulties this can be challenging if they are unable to communicate with the MRI team.
This research will investigate the current methods of MRI safety screening, with a focus on those who experience communication difficulties, whether through a learning disability or difficulty, neurological condition or mental health condition.
We are interested to hear your views on MRI processes, including the screening process and our current procedure and in hearing about the public’s general understanding and how we could improve it. We are especially keen to hear from people who experience communication difficulties, or their carers/family members.
We have recently moved to online safety questionnaires in MRI and it would be helpful to hear about your experience with them.
