Informed consent

A decision made after the person receives understandable information about the proposed care, benefits, material risks, alternatives, fees and the option to decline. Capacity and lawful decision-making arrangements must be considered.

Why this term matters

  1. Use it to understand where care may take place.
  2. Ask whether it changes the equipment, consent, fees or referral needed.
  3. Write down the agreed next step before booking.
