Webinar - Shared decision making: a reality for everyone? (24 November 2021)

Summary

Shared decision making describes the way in which patients and their healthcare providers work together to decide treatment, management or self-management support goals. It includes sharing information about a patient’s options and preferred outcomes. The goal is for patient and professional to agree treatment, or no treatment.

This webinar hosted by The Patients' Association discusses what makes shared decision making effective, barriers for staff and patients and research on ways to improve the practice.
