Watch our webinar (1 hour)
Hosted by MDU medico-legal adviser Dr Nicola Lennard, this session includes:
- how the law and GMC guidance on consent has developed over time
- an overview of the new guidance, including the seven principles
- advice on how to implement this new guidance in every day practice
- Q&A session with our panel of medico-legal advisers
Chaired by medico-legal advisers Dr Jerard Ross and Dr Udvitha Nandasoma, this video was produced as a follow-on to the above webinar so that we could cover off the questions we didn’t have time to address during the session.
Key areas include:
- communicating the risks of COVID-19
- managing consent in time pressured situations or when the patient is unconscious
- consent for imaging or procedures outside your specialty
- what to do when patients seek alternative treatments or refuse to consent
- discussing drug side effects and procedure complications.
This video is divided into chapters - use the progress bar to navigate between sections.
