What do I do if the patient wants to take the consent form home to sign when do I collect the clinical data?
A Once the patient has verbally agreed to take part you may enter their clinical details onto the clinical proforma and submit it to the researchers. As stated in the protocol, the researchers will later dispose of all patient information if a signed consent form is not received (to account for any patient who initially is happy to take part and takes the consent form home to sign, but for any reason does not return it). When the patient is happy to do so, please encourage them to sign at the surgery to avoid forms being lost or forgotton.
