Find the new placement of your templates! I have placed them all in your Student Resource Folder. ALWAYS REMEMBER Your Client Intake / Consultation Forms, Treatment Consent Forms and Photography Consent Forms are your responsibility. These documents form an important part of professional practice. They help you gather relevant information, document informed consent, communicate risks and expectations, and demonstrate that appropriate consultation and consent procedures have been followed. Never assume that a form is suitable simply because it came with a course, product range, device or treatment protocol. Before giving any form to a client: - Read it carefully yourself. - Make sure you understand every question and statement. - Check that it is appropriate for the treatments you provide. - Ensure it reflects your current clinic procedures and professional scope. - Update it when your treatments, products, equipment or procedures change. - Make sure your client has an opportunity to ask questions before signing. A signature is not a substitute for consultation. The purpose of a consent form is not simply to obtain a client's signature. Your responsibility is to ensure that the client understands the treatment, its expected benefits, possible risks, limitations, alternatives where appropriate, and their aftercare responsibilities before they agree to proceed. Double-check every form before placing it into use in your clinic.
