Giving your consent

When a doctor, nurse or therapist asks you to agree to any form of examination, treatment or care you are free to say no, or to ask for more information before you make up your mind.

The Department of Health, Social Services & Public Safety has drawn up guidance to tell you more about giving your consent, and what you have a right to expect.

An information leaflet is available to download here.
