There is an obligation for practitioners to obtain valid consent from their patients before examination, routine personal care or therapeutic treatment.

All you need to know on:
-
- the underlying principles of consent;
- consent and the adult patient;
- consent and the adult who lacks capacity;
- children and consent;
- young people and consent.
