Valid consent in the acute hospital setting: perspectives of nursing and medical professionals from a survey-based study
The process of informed consent is central in the planning and provision of safe, effective person-centred healthcare as it encompasses healthcare professionals and patients communicating about and together deciding on and agreeing to medical interventions. This survey-based study looked at the experiences, attitudes, and perceived needs of junior doctors and nursing professionals in relation to the informed consent process in clinical practice at an acute hospital and informed the development of recommendations for improvement.
