Just reading the 14-page consent form I've been sent before my operation next week. It's okay, because I'm a professor with a medical degree

@C7RKY we routinely give patients their consent form at time of arranging surgery (not 14 pages though!)@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep That's v good to hear Mark. When is the patient given their copy in your process, out of interest? -
@C7RKY here's an example of our information sheets http://www.sath.nhs.uk/Library/Documents/Cancer/Bowel/Right%20Hemi_Ileo%20caecal%20Resection%20Small%20Bowel.pdf …#bowelcancer@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep Excellent pre-op info. How about the consent form copy being given? Is that procedure specific too? -
@C7RKY currently a hand written copy of consent given with the booklet. This allows personalisation if the risks@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep Ok, so handwritten still. Any reason the consent form process hasn't been computerised as yet? -
@C7RKY some specialities have. It's difficult to put individual risks on a standard form though.@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep Appreciated, but it's as easy to add/remove risks on computer then print for signing, one wd think? - 6 more replies
