Medical Consent

Your parents/carers or Children Schools and Families are the people who give their agreement for you to have any form of medical treatment, but as you grow up you are able to talk to doctors and nurses and your parents/carers about your health, and your feelings and wishes should be part of any decisions that are made, for example, after the age of 14 you are able to sign for an operation if the doctors and nurses feel that you understand what is going to happen.
