Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) Forms and Consent Policy
On the 29th May 2018, the Leicestershire LMC met with regional LMC colleagues and Dr. Bob Winter (EMAS, Medical Director) to discuss concerns raised relating to General Practice and EMAS. One of the concerns raised by one of our members prior to the meeting was that the EMAS crew would not accept a DNAR form as it was presented in a black and white format as opposed to a red outline format.
The LMC is pleased to share that Dr. Bob Winter has confirmed that there is NO requirement for Red DNAR forms and, a copy of a DNAR form is also acceptable. As well as this he has provided the LMC with the “Capacity to Consent Policy” to share with our members. To view this, please click here.
