Everyone who joins our service will have an Information
Gathering Session (IGS). The purpose of this session is to check your understanding and get
a feel for your wishes and your preferences.
It is not a pass-fail situation. However, if we have any concerns that you need more information before making your
choices, or if you are struggling to give informed consent to your proposed
intervention, then your provider may recommend you have a second opinion session.
If you are under 16, we ask you to have a Capacity to Consent
Session, which is a formal session with a qualified practitioner. This session will
confirm whether or not you have the capacity to consent to your own medical intervention.
Since our algorithm operates on the assumption of informed consent, we must first establish informed consent via these sessions before issuing you a Treatment Recommendation.
