Council heard about the importance of informed choice and how this goes beyond what is traditionally included in "informed consent." For example, it is important that: 1) patients are given options to choose from; 2) patients are given sufficient information and time to allow them to choose and use any of the options; and 3) it really is the patient’s choice. This may mean that the patient chooses a course that is different from that recommended by his/her physician. 3, record 3, English, - informed%20choice
