研究概览
简要总结
Since the 2015 Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board ruling, the consent process in the UK has had to change. In practice, this means that doctors must ask themselves whether the patient knows about the material risks of the treatment being proposed, alternatives to the treatment, and whether reasonable care has been taken to ensure the patient actually knows this. This study aims to determine patients' perspectives of consent for major cancer surgery in light of the Lanarkshire ruling.
详细描述
A patient satisfaction survey was administered to patients who had undergone urological, gynaecological, colorectal, and plastic surgical procedures at a specialised cancer centre where changes to consent processes in light of the Lanarkshire ruling had been implemented.
