If you are having surgery, a blood transfusion, anaesthesia or receiving chemotherapy or an invasive/high risk treatment, you will be required to give your formal consent and sign a patient consent form. Your physician will explain and discuss your treatment and these procedures with you before asking you to sign the consent form. It is important that you understand fully before signing. In an emergency situation, when you are unable to give consent, your doctor will act on your behalf, in your best interest, and will proceed with the procedure or treatment.
