Shared decision making
The process by which a patient and their healthcare professional
reach a decision together about treatment options and next steps.
It requires patients and professionals to understand what is
important to each other when choosing a treatment, weighing up
clinical evidence and individual preferences.
Working in partnership Health care
professionals
Patients and
carers
85% of clinicians felt patients were included in decision making
but only 50% of patients felt involved in decision making.
