Shared decision making




Shared decision making:
  • Enables the clinician and patient to participate jointly in making an informed health decision
  • Involves discussing the options and their benefits and harms, and considering the patient's values, preferences and circumtances
  • Is not a one-off discussion, but an ongoing process that can be used to guide decisions about screening, investigations and treatments
