This chapter focuses on the clinician’s role in briefing the patient on medical practice. It discusses risk explanations of drugs and investigations; consent; confidentiality; and required documentation. It also discusses the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (commonly abbreviated as DVLA) and its role in assuring that patients with hypoglycaemia and visual disorders are fit to drive. It is important to remember that a mistake is not necessarily a negligent mistake and you cannot be held responsible for every adverse outcome.
