About this siteThis website brings together a range of resources to support researchers conducting research with adults who have impaired capacity to consent and health and social care professionals who provide care for people with impaired capacity. It also contains tools such as the NIHR INCLUDE Impaired Capacity to Consent Framework.
The resources are intended to cover all populations who may have impaired capacity, with a number of specifically tailored resources for particular populations. The website has been developed as part of the CONSULT project. |
