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
@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? -
@C7RKY maybe, any advantages to using a computer?@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep Yes. Creates audit trail of any consent form changes. Prevents fraudulent post-signature amendment. -
@C7RKY you can't amend the patient's carbon copy anyway@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep You can if you don't give their copy to them when they sign it. Hence my interest tbh. -
@C7RKY that's why we give them a copy, it's a good summary of the consultation@trishgreenhalgh@medskep -
@MarkCheetham@trishgreenhalgh@medskep Indeed it is. Unfortunately, not everyone is as robust as you in offering a copy to all patients.
