New Consent to Treatment practice standard and accompanying resource publishedÂ
After a comprehensive review process, the Consent to Treatment practice standard and Consent to Treatment – Equity Considerations registrant resource were endorsed by the Executive Committee on April 14, 2023 and are now published. The new standard will ensure consistency in the consent process and reflects the minimum standard of professional and ethical conduct expected of registrants.
The review process for this practice standard spanned over an 18-month period and included an environmental scan, and a consultation with the public, registrants, patient advocacy groups, and health-care providers who work with patient populations that may experience greater challenges in providing consent.
