Medical consent made easy
Explaining the risks of medical procedures to patients can be challenging.
Yet robust informed medical consent is a fundamental requirement of ethical medical practice. No matter what type of procedure you’re providing, from the simplest blood test to the most complex surgical procedure, the same medical consent principles apply.
That’s where MedConsenting comes in.
