eConsent to be implemented in 2024

July 23, 2024

As you may be aware, the Trust will be introducing eConsent later this year.

The traditional paper-based consent process is no longer fit for purpose as it leads to risk, system inefficiencies, and doesn’t support shared decision making. Click here to find out more about eConsent including the benefits.

What is my role in creating eConsent?

There are two roles for staff in the consent workflow:

  1. Medics and clinical staff with delegated authority, who create or edit consent forms.
  2. Clinical staff who are part of the consent workflow and have responsibility for checking procedure and patient details.  This includes clerical and nursing staff on wards, units, and theatres.

How will I be trained?

Staff with create or edit responsibility will be able to self-guide using the training videos and QRGs, and can obtain additional support from the Trusts digital training team. This group of staff will have Concentric accounts and login using Single Sign On through Unity.

Staff who only require read only access to consent forms will be able to do via Unity; the pdf of the completed eConsent forms will be in Unity Powerchart Documentation.

Both groups will be supported with ‘Floor walker’ support in clinical areas during go live period.
