Documentation of informed consent differs significantly between vascular surgery and radiology procedures. While radiology consent is often documented by consultants, surgery consent documentation is less consistent, impacting patient information.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Auditing
  • Patient Safety
  • Informed Consent

Background:

  • Informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical medical practice.
  • Ensuring adequate documentation of the informed consent process is crucial for patient safety and legal compliance.
  • Previous literature highlights variability in informed consent practices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit and compare the documentation of informed consent for vascular surgical and radiological procedures.
  • To identify differences in the consent process between surgical and radiological interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective audit of 100 randomly selected patient records (51 surgical, 49 radiological) at Christchurch Hospital.
  • Review of clinic letters, patient notes, and consent forms to assess documentation quality and information provision.

Main Results:

  • Consultant sign-off on consent forms was significantly higher in radiology (94%) than surgery (4%).
  • Discussion of risks was better documented in surgical (86%) versus radiological (41%) procedures.
  • Additional patient information leaflets were provided more often in surgery (12%) than radiology (0%).

Conclusions:

  • Informed consent documentation at the audited center is comparable to existing literature.
  • Significant disparities exist in the documentation of informed consent between vascular surgery and radiology.
