Written by admin on Friday 30th July 2021
This programme is now open to all NHS pharmacy professionals in a patient-facing (speaking to patients face to face or via phone or video) role in England
Shared decision making and personalised care are core elements of the NHS Long Term Plan.
Pharmacy professionals are seen as being a key provider of personalised care. Shared decision making is linked to improved outcomes for patients and puts patients at the centre of their own care, making them experts in their own healthcare decisions.
The programme is delivered online and consists of an e-course and two full day online workshops.
On completion of this programme participants should be able to:
- define what is meant by shared decision making
- describe how shared decision making can improve a consultation from the perspective of a pharmacy professional and the person that they are consulting with
- demonstrate the use of the tools and techniques outlined in this course to support shared decision making
- compare these different tools and techniques in order to select those that you will use in practice
- evaluate your ability to use shared decision making in practice.
