Digital patient consent for UK clinicians

Consent you can stand behind, not just a signature

Send in under two minutes. Patients read, ask and confirm they understand in their own time. You keep a sealed, independently verifiable record of what was discussed.

No new hardware. No app to install. Nothing for your secretary to learn.

Sound familiar?

“If this were ever questioned, could I show what we discussed?”

Step 5 of 6

The patient confirmed they understand what was explained.

✓ Benefits ✓ Risks ✓ Alternatives ✓ Leaflet v2

Sealed. Verifiable without us.

How it works

Three steps. Questions are answered inside step two, without you chasing anything.

You send

Pick the patient and template, add anything specific to them, send by email or show a QR code in clinic.

They read, ask and sign

In their own time, on any device. Questions come to you in one batched email; your answers join the record.

You hold the record

A sealed PDF lands in the notes and with the patient. On the day, a QR code reconfirms it in seconds.

Faster, clearer, defensible.

A signature on a form proves nothing about what the patient understood, and since 2015 that is the test. Paper never caught up.

Faster

Specialty templates carry the right risks, benefits, alternatives and leaflets. Choose, add anything patient-specific, send. Reminders, status and the signed PDF look after themselves.

Under two minutes to send

Clearer

Patients read in plain language, on their own phone, at their own pace. They can raise a question against any section and nothing is signed until every question is answered.

Fewer day-of surprises and cancellations

Defensible

Every signed consent captures exactly what was shown, how long each section was read, which leaflet version was confirmed, and every question and answer, then seals it.

Independently verifiable, years later

Why it's defensible

A record that stands on its own.

If a consent is ever questioned, the signed PDF is the evidence. It does not depend on us, our servers, or anyone's memory.

“The doctor's advisory role involves dialogue, the aim of which is to ensure that the patient understands.”

Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] UKSC 11

Anyone with the PDF can verify it with standard tools or at getpatientconsent.com/verification. Your defence team, an expert witness, a court.

Exactly what the patient sawWord for word, including the leaflet version. Later edits never touch a signed record.
How long each section was readWith a minimum reading time before the patient can move on.
Every question and answerThe full thread, and the patient's confirmation that each answer satisfied them.
Side and procedure confirmed by the patientA wrong-site safeguard that costs the patient one tap.
Digitally signed and independently timestampedSealed as a PDF/A archive document with the canonical record embedded. Offline-verifiable.
