Abstract
This article explores issues relating to non-medical personnel gaining informed patient consent for procedures in nurse-led clinics. It examines the results of two snap-shot audits, which indicate that nurse-led consent may be effective in increasing the efficiency of clinics, while also bringing about benefits in terms of a more streamlined service for patients, and increased job satisfaction for nurses.
