ABSTRACT Patient's Informed Consent, Medicine Doctors' Responsibility, Patient's Protection This diploma thesis analysis the informed consent of patient, which is manifestation of the patient's right to decide about his own health freely. The main aim is to describe what laws is the informed consent based on, what it should contain, in which situations the doctor is allowed to act without the consent and what the consequences of acting without consent, in cases, in which the informed consent is required by law, are. Further problems, which are not adequately treated by the law, are also mentioned, and the obtaining of the informed consent in children and the informed consent in practice were described. It was found out, that registration of complaints should be kept by each medical facility separately in the Czech Republic. Except that, the complaints department is established at each regional office. Czech laws do not impose to register complaints or claims in national unified register. Number of complaints between 2008-2010 were obtained from the Czech Medical Chamber, Control Department of the Ministry of Health, Medical Department of Regional Office and from Prague City Hall. It can be stated, based on the study of all related resources and after comparing of the recquired information with the reality, that even if all regulations are abided, it is impossible for the doctor to inform patient about all risks and possible complications to avoid the complaints completely. The questionnaire survey shows, that the legal awareness of doctors in the issue of informed consent is inadequate and it is important to improve it.
