description In Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board [2015] UKSC 11 the Supreme Court redefined the standard of disclosure in informed consent to medical treatment, rejecting the application of the doctor-focused Bolam standard in favour of one focused on what was significant to patients.

This illustrates ongoing judicial deference to the medical profession and this case commentary explores that decision and its implications.
