Shared decision making
What is shared decision making?
- Shared decision making ensures that you are supported to make decisions about your care that are right for you.
- It involves a conversation between your doctor or nurse and you.
- Tests and treatments are chosen based on the healthcare professionals knowledge and expertise and your individual preferences, beliefs and values.
- The conversation should include a discussion about the risks and benefits of any treatment or test.
