Twelve patients undergoing standard whole breast radiotherapy and four staff members who were based mainly on a breast-specific treatment unit were interviewed using semi-structured techniques. The interview transcripts were coded for areas of interest and a thematic map generated using the qualitative data analysis software (NVivo V12, QSR International). One Hundred percent of patients (n=12) would have preferred a proactive approach to skin care management over the reactive one currently implemented. Staff were also in favour of a proactive approach to skin care with 100% (n=4) supportive of a trial into the film's effectiveness. Three key themes were identified • Theme 1 Patient Ownership of Own care - all patients identified they preferred a prophylactic approach and that more specific skin care guidance from healthcare professionals would be beneficial. • Theme 2 Product Practicality - 93% of patients and 100% of staff accepted the product and would be open to the use of it clinically. • Theme 3 Staff Acknowledgement of Skin Care - all staff identified a patient group in need of prophylaxis and that Cavilon No Sting may be a product of interest. Patients and staff were in support of prophylactic skin care, both approved of the proposed product. However, there is a significant lack of clinical evidence to support the use of any topical products within radiotherapy skincare due to the lack of high-quality studies. Changes to skin care practice could be considered due to patient preference in favour of proactive management. Changes to skin care practice could be considered due to patient
