Open-backed NHS gowns which leave patients worried about flashing their buttocks should be scrapped

Open-backed NHS gowns which leave patients worried about flashing their buttocks should be scrapped Anyone who has ever had to walk along a hospital corridor wearing an open-back NHS gown — split from shoulder to buttocks — can confirm it is an undignified experience.

Even if it fits, the slightest draught can cause the gown to flap open, giving anyone passing a glimpse of the nether regions — or, if you're lucky, a pair of paper pants.

Although they're meant to be worn mainly in operating theatres and for X-rays, many patients get stuck in the gowns for the entire time they're in hospital. The Daily Mail
