Consent can be oral or written. That said, however, written consent is usually preferable and is the norm in practice. It is preferable because it can be used as evidence should a dispute about consent arise in the future. It is important to note that the mere fact of a patient's signature on a consent form does not constitute proof of consent. Instead, the content of the consent form can provide an evidentiary basis for conclusions about the content of the dialogue between the health care provider and the patient. 4, record 10, English, - evidence%20of%20consent
