Consent

It is your human right to decline any suggested test or treatment. Before any invasive procedure, you will therefore be asked to sign a formal document indicating your consent.

This is to confirm that

• the procedure has been explained to you
• you understand what it involves and agree to have it done
• you are aware of the frequent or serious side effects
• you are aware of whatever alternative forms of investigation or treatment are available

You will be provided with a copy of the form to keep as a record.
