A Retrospective Audit to Assess the Efficacy of Delegated Consent Training for Maxillofacial Trauma

Introduction: Clinicians have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure that valid consent is obtained prior to any procedure as per GMC guidelines. In the majority of clinical negligence cases, the consent has been found to be inadequate or signed by junior trainees who often have little experience of the operation being performed. We aim to assess the documentation of trauma consent forms at a Regional Maxillofacial Unit and to assess the effectiveness of delegated consent training.
