Shared Decision Making 

Achieving Shared Decision Making goals of care is one the quality priorities for the trust .Shared Decision Making means people are supported to understand the care, treatment and support options available and the risks, benefits and consequences of those options, and to make a decision about a preferred course of action, based on evidence-based, good quality information and their personal preferences. 

It is a process in which practitioners and individuals work together to select tests, treatments, management or support packages, based on evidence and the individual’s informed preferences, rather than the individual being told what to do by the practitioner.

This programme is approved by The Personalised Care Institute.
