Abstract:
Informed consent is a complex concept, it raises issues which involve ethical, moral and legal debates. This paper is intended to explore the elements of informed consent and to give guidance to those in the process of gaining consent from patients. The process should be seen as a partnership between the multidisciplinary team and the patient.
