What does Shared Decision Making mean? And why is it important?

In Episode 2 of Patient Power, we hear all about how Shared Decision Making with your clinician and healthcare team leads to the best outcomes for all and why you should always ask questions.

Dr Lyndal Trevena, Brad Rossiter OAM, Christie Ah-Fa and Madison Shakespeare talk about their experiences of sometimes having to fight to ensure they are involved in the role of the patient and carer as a healthcare team member.

Julie McCrossin also discusses why it is important to have the right resources for different communities to be able to be involved in decision-making.

Patient Power is a Health Consumers NSW podcast and video series, supported by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care.
