Authors
In 2017 informed consent was further defined by law in Italy; in 2018 the processing of personal data was regulated and in 2019 a series of judgments by the Italian Highest Court of Justice have finally clarified the responsibilities inherent the misinformation and the lack of information of the patient. The judgements analysis of the body of law has revealed a grey area: the obligation to provide information to the patient by non-medical staff in disciplines, such as wound care, where these health professionals have wide autonomy within the execution of medical prescriptions. The aim of the present work is to analyze the context and provide a model of informed consent for every professional involved in complex wounds treatment.
