"We forgot to ask for your consent." Or to put it another way... "We exposed ourselves to potential criminal assault charges."https://twitter.com/Ltown134/status/1051542946695323648 …
Interesting the case was upheld. Rightly so, from what you've said. The guidelines are entitled 'Consent to EXAMINATION or treatment' for a reason. You don't even get to assess someone with capacity without their consent, let alone diagnose/treat. Sorry to hear that happened.

Upheld by prof regulatory body due to ethical code of client autonomy being breached. They considered informed consent. NHS carried on muttering about being able to rely on implied consent.

Anyone who talks about implied consent tends to make me stop and take notice. It may have it's place, but it's a dangerous line around which to dance, that one. It's been a clear, thick, red line since Nuremberg, but some still seem willing to try and blur it.
