Abstract

This lecture focuses on the regulatory framework and legal practices regarding provision of medical care without the consent of the patient or their legal representative. It discusses the grounds for delivering medical care in the absence of consent and provides a procedural algorithm for healthcare professionals to follow in such situations, as well as in cases where a patient refuses medical intervention. The lecture also highlights the documentation requirements for instances of medical care provided without consent and cases of patient (or legal representative) refusal of medical intervention.
