Abstract	Background Informal carers (ICs) of residents living in nursing homes (NH) have a key role in the care of residents, including making decisions about and providing care. As radiology has a role in decision making about care, it is important to understand IC’s perspectives about resident’s use of mobile X-ray services (MXS). The aim was to explore the perspectives of ICs of residents living in nursing homes about the use of MXS. Methods From November 2020 to February 2021, twenty ICs of residents living in four nursing homes in different areas of one Australian city participated. Their perspectives of MXS, including benefits and barriers, were explored in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results ICs were resident’s children (80%) and spouses (20%). One resident had received a MXS. Four themes were developed: (1) a priority for resident well-being, where ICs were positive about using MXS, because residents could receive healthcare without transfer; (2) MXS could reduce carer burden; (3) economic considerations, where MXS could reduce health system burden but the MXS call-out fee could result in health inequities; and (4) pathways to translation, including the need to improve consumer awareness of MXS, ensure effective processes to using MXS,, consider nursing home staff levels to manage MXS and ICs expectations about quality and availability of MXS. Conclusions ICs consider MXS can benefit resident well-being by potentially reducing transfers to hospital or radiology facilities and advocated equitable access. ICs cautioned that the quality and safety of healthcare delivered in nursing homes should equal what they would receive in hospitals.
