Personalised Care
To help patients and clinicians work together to make decisions about care, your clinician will talk to you about your choices and help you decide what’s best for you.
When deciding on your care, we want to focus on what matters most to you, look at the available treatments, and think about how well they work.
Our goal is to provide care that is safe, effective, and good value for money. However, we have a limited budget to spend on healthcare. This means we can’t pay for every treatment that patients might want or that clinicians suggest. This is similar to how other NHS organisations work.
The policies on this website explain how we make decisions about treatments, including the reasons and evidence we use.
Shared Decision Making Video from the Centre for Perioperative Care
The Centre for Perioperative Care has created a patient video centred around shared decision making, informing them how to improve their health and prepare if on a waiting list. Shared decision making is appropriate for decisions in both primary and secondary care settings. Watch Peter's journey. For more information email CPOC@rcoa.ac.uk.
BRAN Leaflet – Shared decision making supports individuals to make the right decision for them. This easy-to-use leaflet supports people to consider their treatment options.
Evidence-Based Interventions Programme
The Evidence-based Interventions Programme is an initiative led by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges to improve the quality of care.
Created by both doctors and patients as the name suggests, it is designed to reduce the number of medical or surgical interventions as well as some other tests and treatments which the evidence tells us are inappropriate for some patients in some circumstances. We also know that some times these interventions can do more harm than good.
As well as improving outcomes it also means that we can free up valuable resources so they can be out to better use elsewhere in the NHS. This is going to be more important than ever as the NHS recovers from the impart of Covid-19 and restores services.
Resources to help health professionals, patients and the public understand the Evidence-Based Interventions Programme and the interventions that are currently included in the guidance can be found here >>> https://www.aomrc.org.uk/ebi/
