Capacity and Consent

Capacity and Consent is crucial in the medical sector. It involves understanding whether a person is capable of making informed decisions about their treatment or life-saving interventions. This means assessing their ability to understand the information given to them, retain it, weigh the potential risks and benefits, and communicate their decision. When a person lacks this capacity, we must act in their best interests and ensuring their respect and dignity are upheld.
