Consent for treatment is a legal requirement involving a detailed explanation of the diagnosis and treatment options. Practitioners must be able to negotiate consent according to the guidance issued by the General Dental Council.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • describe best practice in obtaining consent to treatment
  • explain why 'information', 'capacity' and 'voluntariness' are key concepts, and how they can be applied
  • list the patient communication methods used by practitioners
  • describe the key information that should be included on a consent form
  • explain the risk of not seeking consent and embarking on complex treatment immediately

Patients have a right to determine what happens to their body. Patients are autonomous individuals and that right must be respected by healthcare professionals.
