Practitioner views and experiences of deferred consent in paediatric and neonatal emergency care trials: the connect study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Deferred consent refers to when a patient is entered into a trial without prior consent. In 2008 UK legislation was amended to enable the use of deferred consent for paediatric emergency care trials in recognition of the practical and ethical difficulties of obtaining consent in an emergency situation. However, ambiguity about how to make the process of deferred consent acceptable to parents, children and practitioners remains. In particular, little is known about practitioners’ views and experiences of seeking deferred consent in this setting.
