Dr Anna Volkmer - Does my patient understand what my research study is about?

Dr Anna Volkmer - Does my patient understand what my research study is about?

Dr Anna Volkmer, narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 is a legislation that aims to protect the rights of people who may lack capacity to make decisions. This Act provides guidance to professionals to decide whether someone has decision-making capacity. It also offers practical examples of how to judge if a person can understand, retain, weigh up, and express a decision. The Act also provides guidance to researchers on gaining consent from research participants. However, researchers often find this legislation and code of practice complicated and difficult to follow, which leads to people with communication difficulties being excluded from studies. In this blog Anna goes through the issues and makes suggestions on how to address the issues.
