Updated guidance: consent following Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board

Updated guidance on consent following Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board. Following the Supreme Court ruling of Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] UKSC 11 the Royal College of Surgeons  has published updated guidance as to how practitioners should approach the consent process with patients.

‘Consent: Supported Decision-Making – A Good Practice Guide’ is essential reading for those litigating cases involving allegations of inadequate consent prior to surgical treatment.
