Consent is a process of communication and shared decision-making, where patients should have the information they need to make a genuine and informed choice about their care. Patient consent is given, not taken. And is much more than just signing forms and saying yes.
This webinar will explore what meaningful consent looks like in practice, for both patients and healthcare professionals. We will consider the difference between simply agreeing to something and giving informed consent, what information patients should expect to receive, and how healthcare professionals can support people to ask questions, express concerns and make choices that are right for them.
It will also explore consent as an ongoing process rather than a one-off event, including what happens when circumstances or preferences change. The webinar will consider how we can move away from consent being treated as a form or tick-box exercise and towards a culture where patients feel able to speak up and where healthcare professionals genuinely listen.
