Article Synopsis
- - Informed consent is an ongoing conversation between the patient and healthcare provider, not just a form signature, and the Irish Medical Council advises against interns handling consent for procedures they are unfamiliar with.
- - A survey conducted among interns revealed that many were obtaining consent for procedures they hadn't witnessed before, often without proper explanation from supervisors, and not usually supervised by senior doctors.
- - The findings indicate that interns are still frequently involved in the consent process without adequate training or oversight, suggesting a need for improvements to align with ethical guidelines and ensure patient safety.
