WUTH publication: Changes to the law on consent following Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board

Citation: British Journal of Hospital Medicine. 2016, 77(6), 355-7
Author: Clearkin L
Abstract: The Supreme Court's determination on Montgomery (AP) (Appellant) v Lanarkshire Health Board (Respondent) (Scotland) [2015] clarified UK law on consent. It is for the informed patient to determine which intervention, if any, they will undergo. All doctors must meet this standard and may need to reassess their practice to do so.
