The surgical care practitioner seeking consent: An appropriate delegate?
Keyword(s):
Surgical care practitioners (SCPs) have become recognised as integral members of the surgical team in many healthcare establishments. Seeking informed consent either as the operating practitioner or on behalf of the surgeon, as their delegate, has becoming routine for many SCPs. Informed consent is a critical step in the patient’s care pathway and fundamental in fostering shared decision making and safer surgical practice. The relatively recent case of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board has highlighted a need for those practitioners seeking informed consent to critically examine their practice and revisit the founding principles of the process.
