The Medical Consenter participates in the child's medical appointments either directly or indirectly. This may include medical, behavioral, dental, eye care and surgical treatment. The level of participation for each appointment depends on the nature of the care the child is receiving.

The Medical Consenter must attend all appointments when a child is prescribed psychotropic medication. This includes psychotropic medication follow up appointments.

By participating in the child's medical appointments, the Medical Consenter is better able to meet their responsibility of being knowledgeable of the child's medical condition and medical history.

The Medical Consenter keeps the caseworker informed of the child's care and of any significant medical conditions.
