Valid consent in the acute hospital setting: perspectives of patients and members of the public

ConclusionsThe results highlight interesting similarities and differences in relation to consent between members of the public thinking about a possible treatment, surgery, or procedure and those patients who have actually been through the process in the past 12  months. Recommendations have been developed on the basis of these findings to co-design improvements in consent practices.
