Good practice in consent implementation guide: consent to examination or treatment

This good practice in consent implementation guide contains a model consent policy and four consent forms, together with an accompanying information leaflet, About the consent form. This model documentation has been developed as part of the Department of Health's 'good practice in consent' initiative, with the aim of assisting NHS organisations to promote good practice in the way patients are asked to give their consent to treatment, care or research.
