A person must give their consent for any type of medical procedure, test, or examination. Healthcare workers must ensure that consent has been given.
For consent to be valid, the person must:
➡️ be making a voluntary choice
➡️ have been given the necessary information in a way they can understand it
➡️ have the decision-making capacity to make the decision

Congratulations to our colleagues for launching a successful service in Kerry! Pathfinders is one of a suite of key services operating within the community that aims to reduce hospital attendance and admission! #integratedcare #communityresponse
The Pathfinder service, which provides safe alternative care at home for older people who phone 112/999, has recently been extended to Kerry. “It’s a wonderful service with very experienced staff and the follow up service was excellent as well.” – Michael Cunnane
