Patient consent has always been pivotal to healthcare practice. However concerns about what actually happens in day-to-day practice have been fuelled following the case of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board and recent inspections carried out by the Care Quality Commission.
This one-day refresher course for healthcare professionals covers the law relating to consent in relation to:
patients who are able to make decisions for themselves
those who lack capacity and are unable to give informed consent
