Our clinicians must be satisfied that a patient understands and consents to a proposed treatment, immunisation or investigation.
This will include the nature, purpose and risks of the proposed procedure. This can be implied consent which will be assumed for many routine physical contacts with patients. Express consent (written or verbal) will be obtained for any procedure which carries a risk that a patient is likely to consider as being substantial.
Please contact the surgery for any clarification.
