Informed consent represents a right of every
patient to know and decide what they deem appropriate in the
field of their health. In this context, the information provided
by the professional represents an inescapable requirement since
it must be a free, conscious and voluntary action. In this regard, Law 41/2002, of 14 November, basic regulation of the
autonomy of the patient and rights and obligations in terms f information and clinical documentation establishes a series
of obligations that the health professionals have to fulfil, whose purpose is, precisely, that the patients can form and express
their will and that it is respected. However, despite the fact that
the rule specifies certain aspects, it is necessary to clarify how
this information is provided and the content it must have. In
this regard, we find various pronouncements of the Supreme
Court whose purpose is, ultimately, to specify the legal mandates. Therefore, in this study, we will analyse the most relevant
judgments for this purpose and draw the conclusions derived
from the study
