Pre-made consent for elective inguinal hernia repair: the need for standardisation —a survey of all UK NHS Trusts

ConclusionsWhilst the consent form only provides documentation of the consent process, this study suggests that PCFs do not improve the quality of consent as both the type and likelihood of quoted complications were highly variable between Trusts. As follow-up for elective procedures is rare, it is unlikely that this variability reflects actual measured outcomes.
