In the years since the landmark Montgomery legal ruling the issue of consent has evolved and is now much more patient focused.

As the experts in informed consent the team at EIDO Healthcare have worked closely with clinicians, patients, content creators, medico-legal experts and technology providers to produce our 4th Annual Consent Review. The report reviews developments and trends around informed patient consent and includes:

  • A summary of the Montgomery principles 5 years on
  • A statement of the general law on patient consent
  • Consent in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic
  • Selected legal claims involving medical consent

If you would like a free copy of the report, just complete the form. We will send you a digital copy to download and keep.
