UK LAW ON CONSENT - New law shows need for longer consultations

摘要

Edozien's editorial describes the evolution of medical negligence, particularly consent case law up till now. Although I agree with Edozien's description of our current formulaic practice in obtaining consent, and the need to impress on the profession the change in the law, I think one of the greatest hurdles will be creating time to have more complex, in depth, conversations with patients.
