Your right to be fully informed

All clinical practitioners owe their patients a duty of care and must obtain informed consent before undertaking any treatment. You should be fully and comprehensively informed about your treatment before agreeing to proceed.

Without that information you cannot give valid consent, which is why informed consent is a legal prerequisite to any procedure. Where a practitioner fails to explain the risks, alternatives or likely outcomes, and you go on to suffer harm as a result, that failure may form the basis of a clinical negligence claim.

You should be informed about:

  • The necessity of the treatment and its suitability for you
  • What the treatment entails, the process and any further treatment
  • What to expect, including comfort and discomfort levels
  • Full cost transparency for the treatment and possible further work
  • The probability of success or failure
  • Problems that may arise and the risks entailed
  • Appropriate alternative treatments and their considerations
  • Aftercare considerations once treatment is complete
