Consent to treatment

Parsons v Isle of Wight NHS Trust [2023] EWHC 3115 (KB)

The High Court has recently considered a consent case involving anaesthesia in which there were claims for both trespass and negligence. Mr Justice Ritchie, the High Court judge who had decided the recent case of CNZ v Royal Bath Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust [2023] EWHC 19 (KB), heard the case, and made several interesting observations concerning the duty of candour and the role and responsibilities of doctors.
