Shared decision making collaborative

We’re working with partner organisations to support the wider health and care system to embed shared decision making into routine practice. The aim is to ensure that people who deliver and receive care work together to select tests, treatments and support, based on evidence and what really matters to the individual.

Who’s involved

There are over 40 organisations working together, including:

• Academy of Medical Royal Colleges
• Advancing Quality Alliance
• General Medical Council
• Health Education England
• Healthwatch England
• NHS England and NHS RightCare
• NICE – and Patients Involved in NICE (PIN)
• Newcastle University
• University of Leeds

Our organisations have come together to see how we can make shared decision making part of everyday care.
