That's very interesting to hear. Not just the result, but also the fact that you conduct an audit on the subject at all. What made you undertake an audit process in the first place?
We audit virtually everything we consider important and for CQC it is useful to demonstrate that we are at least trying to do things right even if not perfect and can show whether improving or not year on year
I find that very encouraging. Thanks doc. May I ask, when did you first include checking pt consent forms had been given out? And why?
About 5 years or more ago. I suspect because it is a requirement of good consent practice to give a copy.
Where do you take your lead from these days for what represents good consent practice? I'm just looking to find anything that specifies the need to hand a copy to patient, or auditing the same.
Hi John take a look here https://www.rcseng.ac.uk/-/media/files/rcs/library-and-publications/non-journal-publications/consent_2016_combined-p2.pdf … see page 22
Ah thanks saved me looking it up Page 24 on my copy!
It's page no 22 but the 24th page. No pages ins at the intro
Thank you Mark. A Royal College document? I didn't expect that. How would this sit alongside guidance issued by the likes of GMC, DoH, etc? Is one considered the definitive source? Can't help note it says 'should' be given in that one too. Not even 'must'.
