Medical Radiation Practice education must integrate patient lived experience into the curriculum, according to head and neck cancer survivor and PhD candidate, Daniel Johnstone.
Passionate about consumer involvement in healthcare, Daniel's thesis research question is “How can the stories of those with the lived experience of cancer be used to educate tertiary healthcare students about the patient experience, and from that, how would such an approach influence their attitudes and intent towards people impacted by cancer?”
Daniel was an invited speaker at last month's ASMIRT/NZIMRT 2025 conference, and spoke to Croakey Health Media about his conference presentations, cancer experience, and advocacy work.
