Consent Q&A discussion

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.
