The Consent for Approach for Research Database is for patients who have kidney disease and are being cared for by a hospital kidney team.
You can fill this form in for yourself, or on behalf of a relative/friend if they are over 16 and unable to physically do so themselves. As much of the research will require answering questionnaires, your relative/friend must however have ‘capacity’. Capacity is the ability to understand information and make their own decisions. They must be able to verbally communicate answers to you for you to complete this form and any subsequent questionnaires on their behalf.
