description Audio-visual recordings made by patients of their clinical encounters are increasingly common. This may be done with or without their doctors' knowledge or consent and is considered admissible legal evidence. Many surgeons may feel uncomfortable with being recorded and lack knowledge regarding the legal implications. The aim of this study was to gauge how surgeons react to being recorded, and what specific medico-legal insight they have regarding these matters. In total, 150 surveys were distributed to surgeons in two hospitals in South Wales by email, Survey Monkey and paper copy between 28 October 2019 and 9 March 2020. The survey was anonymous and recorded level of training, as well as four simple questions regarding how surgeons may react to being recorded and what they felt their legal rights were. There were 91 respondents: 28 consultants, 36 registrars and 27 junior surgical trainees. Of the respondents, 56% were uncomfortable with being recorded and 23% would stop a consultation if their patient insisted on recording it. These issues were most marked for junior surgical trainees. Sixty-two per cent of respondents were unaware of their legal rights and 21% believed they were legally able to refuse to continue a consultation. This belief was particularly marked among consultants. Many surgeons are uncomfortable with being recorded and lack knowledge regarding their medico-legal standing. Education and guidance from the Royal Colleges would help address this issue and avoid misunderstanding when surgeons are faced with these potentially difficult scenarios.
