An understanding of the law and the way in which it impacts upon
roles, responsibilities and care is a vital component in everyday
healthcare. The law of consent is particularly complex, and its
inadvertent misinterpretation, misapplication or maladministration
by health professionals has led to an increasing number of legal
claims for compensation. This book explains the legal issues around
consent to treatment in England and Wales simply and
straightforwardly. It uses real-life examples to set out the
professional obligations, basic principles of consent and detailed
information on each area, enabling health professional to approach
consent methodically and to ensure that it is validly obtained and
recorded. 'Explains the complexities of consent in a practical and
straightforward way making a difficult and often complex subject
easy to understand. In addition it is a useful handbook that health
professionals at all levels can refer to as an everyday text to
help guide them through the intricacies of the topic.' - From the
Foreword by Colum J Smith 'This book is invaluable to health care
professionals and could help prevent them from attending court
defending the care they have inadvertently provided.' - From the
Foreword by Sue Battersby 'A very useful book for healthcare
professionals of all kinds to refer to' - From the Foreword by
Louise M Terry
