Consent to veterinary treatment
30 November 2016
I am looking at the consent process as it applies to treatment of animals, focusing on the discussion between the vet and the animal owner that leads to decisions being made about the animal's treatment, either surgery or medical treatment. I have conducted interviews with vets and nurses, and am now recruiting owners for recorded, on-line interviews.
