Can anyone give me a bit of guidance on this? As part of their
training, there are special sessions set up for student doctors in the
education department, where they can examine real people (patients and
ex-patients) and get hand-on experience and training in a less frenetic
environment than the wards. The education department themselves have
produced a consent form (DA) for the patients to sign before they come,
and an information leaflet explaining everything about the day itself,
and how the information will be used. All well and good, but now
managers are asking whether these consent forms are necessary (is a
general leaflet outline the various uses of information in the Trust
enough?), and if they are necessary, should they be kept in the health
record?
Anyone with a particular view on this one?
Thanks (must be Friday afternoon!!)
