About us

Patient consent forms are used as an aid in the pre-operative discussion that must take place between doctor and patient.

The forms serve as the – legally required – evidence that the patient consents to the treatment. Millions of our forms are used by doctors every year in printed and electronic form.

Thieme Compliance is the market leader in the legally validated patient consent form market in Germany. 

Thieme Compliance markets patient information materials for more than 2,000 different diagnostic and surgical procedures in up to 13 languages.

It is vital, that a patient is fully informed about the chances and risks of an upcoming operation to gain the patients‘ confidence and ensure their satisfaction – wherever in the world the operation takes place. 

Our patient education and informed consent documents are constantly being reviewed, updated and improved taking into account international patient safety regulations and the latest diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
