ABSTRACT
A qualitative investigation was undertaken to determine and analyse the pattern of existing practices regarding informed consent for surgery at PIMS, Islamabad. Adult postoperative patients who had undergone surgical interventions were randomly selected face-to-face with the help of a team of junior doctors. A questionnaire was employed for data collection and the responses of the patients to the questions regarding various attributes of the consent process were analysed. Overall inadequacy existed in the prevailing practices. There is a need to revisit the consent related practices and make the process more informed and adequate. Instead of taking it as a casual formality, our doctors should regard it as an equally important exercise equivalent to other components of care such as the surgery itself
