A closed loop audit of the consenting process for elective large bowel resections against royal college of surgeons (RCS) guidance

Aims: In November 2016, the RCS published new guidance on consent, reflecting a change in UK law following the landmark ‘Montgomery vs Lancashire Board’ court case (MLBC). We aimed to audit the documentation of consent for elective large bowel resections (ELBR) at our hospital.
