Methods Semi‐structured interviews undertaken with people (January 2020–May 2021), North East England. An iterative topic guide was used interviews, which remotely (telephone or Zoom), audio recorded, pseudo‐anonymised transcribed. Initial transcripts independently coded by two researchers, code ‘bank’ developed application across transcripts. Development themes overarching analytical constructs collaboratively research team. Results Interviews conducted 19 participants, analysed four key identified: (1) relative threats Cancer not comparable, as posing far greater risk than Covid‐19; (2) Remote problematic, affecting patients' abilities build rapport trust clinicians, assess nonverbal communication, feel able disclose, comprehend retain information; (3) Stoma follow‐up be lacking, long wait times stoma reversal experienced some; Finally, (4) Being alone negatively impacted some peoples' absorb information, left them without support loved ones at an emotionally vulnerable time. However, participants preferred certain points their receiving diagnosis, most frequently when in‐patient treatment. Conclusion brought unexpected benefits, absolving undertaking emotions work others, instead focus recovery, however, remote experiences.
