Child Medical Consent

A Child Medical Consent is a document where a parent or guardian grants permission to another adult to make medical decisions for a minor child.

A Child Medical Consent is used when parents or guardians of a child (or children) want to authorize another person (or people) to consent to medical treatment for the child(ren). It is ideal for use when a child is being cared for by a babysitter, grandparents, other relatives, or other temporary guardians. With proper authorization, the caregiver will be able to access medical care without delay, especially in emergency situations.
