Why is it important?
Montgomery ruling is seen as something new and difficult to interpret but it simply aligns law to what doctors should have been doing for a long time.
Perspectives
I hope this response to the article published in BJOG provides a clear, simple insight into the ruling and acts a driver for people to stop and think about how they could improve their consent process.
