C Section Patient Info Q12

Please include copies of the respective consent forms and Trust-specific patient leaflets

 

Please note, the patient leaflets are taken from our Patient Advice and Information Database (PAID) system. Use of this system ensures that each patient receives a newly printed, personalised copy of the trust approved patient information leaflet. It also ensures that any information given to the patient to support their decisions around treatment and consent will be recorded against the patient’s electronic patient record, and allows staff to view a complete history of patient information leaflets issued to any patient. The attached leaflet has a watermark “View only do not issue to patients”. This watermark is automatically removed when the leaflet is correctly issued via the PAID system.
