The patient must be informed, explained in detail what the author tends to use their information for. Mental capacity act 2005 says that patient must have capacity to give consent.

Piffaretti cited “that the aim of the mental capacity act 2005 is to balance the importance of properly conducted research into the treatment or care of people who lack capacity with the need to protect their interests and respect their current wishes and feelings” (Piffaretti
