Abstract

The British Orthopaedic Association has endorsed a website, www.orthoconsent.com, allowing surgeons free access to a bank of pre-written consent forms. These are designed to improve the level of information received by the patient and lessen the risk of successful litigation against surgeons and Health Trusts.

Correspondence should be sent to Mr A. Atrey; e-mail: amitatrey@doctors.net.uk
