Explicit consent
Definition
From:
NHS England Transformation Directorate: Information Governance Framework for Integrated Health and Care: Shared Care Records (Sep 2021)
Explicit consent requires a very clear and specific statement of consent. It is unmistakable. It can be given in writing or verbally, or conveyed through another form of communication such as signing. Whilst explicit consent is not required for direct care purposes, it may still be required to comply with other statutory requirements (such as the Gender Recognition Act 2004).
