My impression is that consent has become far less black and white than it ought to be. A point made only more obvious when it comes to end of life care. Sorry Karen.

If someone has capacity it is most definitely NOT a medical decision to impose treatment. Even if they don't like the patient's decision, they must respect it. Including refusal. That's my understanding anyway.

Patient can refuse treatment at any stage.

I never had cause to go looking further back, but are you saying that there were no guidelines on consent to examination or treatment prior to 2008/9, Ann? I'd be astonished to learn that was the case.
