valid consent definition

valid consent means that the person must understand that he or she has the option of refusing treatment, the consent is free (this means it is given without threat or duress); the consent must be to the particular thing that is done; and the person has a basic but real understanding of the nature and effect of the treatment (see Questions of Rights: A Guide to the law and rights of people with an intellectual disability Redfern Legal Centre 1992) The preferred practice is to obtain consent in writing, however, where this is not possible or where this would delay treatment consent may be obtained verbally.
