Consent the GOsC asks you to record
The Osteopathic Practice Standards say you must record the key parts of the consent discussion, keep written consent for any vaginal or rectal examination or technique, and note whether a chaperone was there or declined. Our risk consent form has a field for each. None of them are optional.
- Chaperone recorded as present, offered and declined, or not applicable
- Tick an intimate technique and the note can't be finalised until the patient has signed
- Information given, the patient's questions and their decision, all on the record
