10 years on from the landmark ruling of the Supreme Court in Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, this session focused on the law on consent as it applies to patients who have capacity from four different perspectives, including the concept of supported decision making.
The session was chaired by Browne Jacobson’s Amelia Newbold.
We were also delighted to be joined by Nadine Montgomery, who reflected on the changes brought about by her claim 10 years on, and the challenges still faced in supported decision making.
Browne Jacobson’s Nigel Wood provided a summary of the law on consent, including recent case-law and some common pitfalls.
We also heard from Dr Graeme Fitzpatrick and Dr Jyoti Sidhu who shared their practical experience of dealing with some of the challenges in taking informed consent and shared best practice and practical hints and tips for doing so.
