The Consent Form
The Anaesthetic Procedural Consent Form
Any client having an animal admitted to Seaforth Veterinary Hospital for any procedure requiring an anaesthetic, must complete a consent form.
This form:
-
Highlights the fact that an anaesthetic is to be administered.
-
That a certain procedure is to be carried out (often surgical).
-
Allows the client to obtain an estimate if one has not yet been offered.
-
Allows for the gathering of urgent contact information should it be required.
-
Offers ancilliary procedures recommended to ensure the anaesthetic procedure will be as safe as posssible (pre GA bloods, surgical fluids)
There are no exceptions to this.
If a consent form is not completed that we are not allowed administer the anaesthetic!
