"Patients do not need their doctors' permission to tape a consultation" MDU has to concede And you should. EVERY time http://www.themdu.com/guidance-and-advice/latest-updates-and-advice/what-should-you-do-if-a-patient-wants-to-record-a-consultation …
@Cleverestcookie I think the reason this is resisted, is because it will throw the informed consent debate wide open. Lawyers avoid that one

@C7RKY easier to demonstrate, surely? -
@Cleverestcookie Easier to demonstrate the standard fell short too. And I fear that is all too often the case, from stories I'm hearing tbh. -
@C7RKY but why would clinicians not want informed consent? Paternalism? Surely most consultants aren't like this now??? -
@Cleverestcookie I didn't expect it either, but that's exactly what I've found tbh. Unsure why? More you say, more you can get caught out? -
@C7RKY the more information, clearly presented, with benefits/hazards explained, the better outcome for all parties. -
@Cleverestcookie I agree. So back to why doesn't it always happen? Not enough time allocated to consultations? Paternalism? Incompetence? -
@C7RKY running at least 30 mins late and patients don't moan. Consultations are longer. Time may be prob in primary care. -
@Cleverestcookie Whatever the reason, with recording becoming a bigger factor, I suspect something is going to have to change for the better - 10 more replies
