Any patient undergoing a procedure or intervention should be provided with an explanation of the procedure and the risks involved, and be asked to give their consent. Often this is a process that is poorly done or misunderstood by both of the clinician and the patient. Dr Maryanne Balkin discusses the legal and ethical issues surrounding informed consent and the capacity to provide consent.
