Shared Decision Making
We want to ensure that patients are fully involved in their own care – this is called shared decision making. It is important that as a patient there is ‘no decision about me, without me.'
To achieve shared decision making, we will ensure that we provide you with understandable and accurate clinical information.
We will discuss options that are available to you and explore what each option means for you.
In return, we ask that you put forward your questions and any concerns that you may have.
Four Questions to ask my Clinician or Nurse to make better decisions together:
- What are the BENEFITS?
- What are the RISKS?
- What are the ALTERNATIVES?
- What if I do NOTHING?
