Trainee involvement in cataract surgery is vital to allow proper training of the next generation of ophthalmic surgeons. However, recent changes in the UK Law, coupled with open publication of National Cataract Dataset results, lead us to conclude that the status of being a trainee is itself a material risk that now needs to be divulged to patients during the consent process. The opinions of current trainee surgeons in the UK were sampled via questionnaire and clinical negligence counsel was involved in the authorship of the paper in order to analyse the legal issues at stake. Attitudes towards consent regarding trainee involvement in UK cataract surgery need to change.
实习生参与白内障手术对于培养下一代眼科医生至关重要。然而,英国法律的最新变化,加上全国白内障数据集结果的公开出版,使我们得出结论,实习生的身份本身就是一个重大风险,现在需要在知情同意过程中向患者披露。通过问卷调查对英国现任实习外科医生的意见进行了抽样调查,并邀请了临床过失律师参与论文的撰写,以分析所涉法律问题。英国白内障手术中实习生参与问题的同意态度需要改变。
