Informed patient consent is a process by which a patient learns about and understands the purpose, benefits, and potential risks of a medical or surgical intervention. Consent to treatment means a person must give permission before they receive any type of medical treatment, test or examination. Consent from a patient is needed regardless of the procedure, whether it's a physical examination, surgical procedure or other intervention. The form is aimed at assisting with the healthcare practitioner and patient alike.
