Royal College Of Surgeons Podcasts

In 2015, almost 60 years of conventional medical practice was legally challenged in a landmark case regarding consent to treatment. The College has developed a series of three podcasts exploring the legal, ethical and practical implications of the Montgomery judgement, and discussing the new guidance on Consent: Supported Decision-Making, produced by the College. The first podcast in the series discusses the main principles of the Montgomery ruling and includes a dramatisation based on two real medicolegal case studies involving consent, illustrating the important shifts in practice that are now required to work within the law.
