Informed Consent Policy

Kia ora! 


All Auckland DHB staff with direct patient contact are expected to be familiar with the policy on informed consent. Informed consent is defined as the process that provides a patient with sufficient information to make an informed decision about accepting a service or treatment. 

The expectations of this course are that you will: 

  • read the policy 
  • access any resource page(s) on Hippo 
  • complete the self-evaluation section  - this acknowledges that you have read the policy/guideline and have had an opportunity to discuss any questions you have with your preceptor/nurse educator or manager
