Consent and Governance
Jeffrey C. McILwain
Abstract
Governance </p><p> Prior to the more corporate approach to health services it was taken to be the case that consent was a matter between a clinician and a patient. However, today there is more and more inspection and regulation of an organisation&#039;s approach to consent taking. This includes the formal details as laid out by regulatory and licensing bodies. By the nature of a public service such aspects of inspection may change more frequently than that of ethics or law pertaining to consent.
