Shared Decision Making

Shared Decision Making WASP Event

Book now for September 2024: WASP Shared Decision Making – Virtual Workshop

Shared Decision Making is one of the universal Personalised Care interventions and so it should be available to 100% of the population, applicable across healthcare including community, primary and secondary care.

 

If you work with people where a decision is to be made, and there is more than one reasonable and available course of action, you should be using Shared Decision Making!

Typically, patients and clinicians overestimate the benefits of interventions and underestimate their harms. Shared Decision Making can play a role in reducing the problem of over diagnosis and overtreatment, leading to better outcomes for patients, more efficient use of resources and improved satisfaction for all involved!
