An opportunity has become available for service users to participate in a 10,000 more voice project that seeks to look into experience of shared decision making.
Background
The 10,000 More Voices initiative is focused on gathering stories from people who receive services in Health and Social Care so that we can make timely improvements to the delivery of care. In May 2022 the Department of Health endorsed the NICE Guideline NG197 Shared Decision Making (June, 2021). Shared decision-making is defined as a joint process where healthcare providers and service users work together, using the best available evidence, to decide on care plans that align with the service user’s preferences and values. It emphasises mutual respect and open communication, enabling the service user to be actively involved in making informed decisions about their health care. We invite you to share your story about your experience as a service user or carer on how you have experienced decisions about your care.
