Surgical Consent is an electronic consent platform to enhance shared decision making, reduce errors, & enable trusts to go paperless.
98% of us will undergo an operation, and decisions at these points in our lives are often critical. As Surgeons, we know that patients are frequently poorly informed about their options, and poor decisions can be made.
With a paperless mandate for 2020, and increasing medical negligence bills, currently £1.2bn per year, Surgical Consent offers a solution for patients, doctors, and hospitals.
“Unless changes are made to the processes to gain consent … dramatic increase in expensive litigation.”
