Patients undergoing treatment are vulnerable and have a right to expect a high level of care. There are also certain things patients can do to help ensure they receive high-quality care. The Patient Liaison Group (PLG) believes it is important for patients to understand both their rights and their responsibilities in this process and has designed Patients' Rights and Responsibilities to provide details of both. We hope this publication will be useful to surgeons and all hospital staff dealing with surgical patients, as well as to patients themselves.
