Consent for non-procedural care

Consent is required not only for procedures, but also for other clinical activities such as prescribing medications, ordering investigations, and performing physical examinations. This course focuses on consent in non-procedural contexts, where the need for discussion may be overlooked or assumed. Using common clinical scenarios, it examines material risk disclosure, consent for treatment plans, and consent in sensitive examinations. The course supports doctors to integrate consent conversations seamlessly into routine care while meeting professional and legal standards.
