Unveiling Assent
This presentation highlights the complexities with gaining assent from patients who cannot consent to treatment. We will discuss the conceptual differences and similarities between assent and consent, the practical challenges with gaining assent, and the ethical concerns that arise. This talk will also explore some strategies for gaining assent, such as negotiation and communication techniques that may prove helpful.
