Consent to care and treatment
The CQC statement
“We tell people about their rights around consent and respect these when we deliver person-centred care and treatment.”
This is one of the Effective Quality Statements in the CQC Single Assessment Framework. To meet it, providers need to demonstrate relevant evidence during assessment.
Example evidence
A few examples of the evidence CQC inspectors expect to see for this area:
- New Patient Assessment Template
- Antibiotic Prescribing Audit
- Meeting Minutes
