Society of Radiographers says more patients are filming procedures without asking permission.

This could distract staff or make them feel uncomfortable and anxious, the society says.

Sharing material on social media also risks publicising the private medical data of other patients.

Most NHS staff wear identity badges and their job titles may be visible on videos.
