Dilemma
Diabetes is complex and dangerous / deadly

Only a minority take treatments
Why?
Do our patients…?

Respect and value HCPs?

Have relevant information?
/
Feel listened to/involved?

Do what they are told?

Take tablets as prescribed?

Have outcomes as good as could be? 
Feel satisfied with care?
How are we doing?

Making better decisions - the dilemma
Patients:
unaware of treatment or
management options and
outcomes
Clinicians:
unaware of patients’
circumstances and
preferences
Poor decision quality

thing over and over again

problems with the same

created them’

What are SDM / SSM?
… the principles
Support for Self-Management
(SSM)
Shared Decision Making
(SDM)
Managing weight
Monitoring glucose levels
Starting cholesterol
lowering treatment
Joining a walking group
Stopping smoking
Taking COPD rescue medication
Pain relief in hospital
Episodic care and specific
decisions
Planned care and day-to-day
decisions
‘ After all, when you
seek advice from
someone it's certainly
not because you want
them to give it. You
just want them to be
there while you talk to
yourself’
Sir Terry Pratchett
Key elements of SDM
Patients and Clinicians
Working together to select
– Tests, treatments, management or
support packages
Based on
– Clinical evidence
– Patient preferences
– (Each given equal value)
Adapted from Coulter
& Collins 2011
Thinking differently: specific decisions
Patients:
Bringing experience, personal
values, knowledge and
preferences
Clinicians:
Bringing best evidence
presented clearly and skillfully
Best decision quality (SDM)

Care planning – it’s a verb!
‘A care plan is at the heart of a
partnership approach to care
and a central part of effective
care management. The
process of agreeing a care
plan offers people active
involvement in deciding,
agreeing and owning how
their condition is to be
managed’
Partnership working
What support is there
(just now)?
We’re being asked
… to do the right thing!
The health and social care system must be shaped
around the needs of the patient, not the other way
round.
Step by step over the next ten years the NHS must be
redesigned to be patient centred – to offer a
personalised service…
…. by 2010 it will be common place.
NHS National Plan, 2000
No decision about you, without you
‘Patients must be at the
heart of everything we do,
not just as beneficiaries of
care, but as participants, in
shared decision-making.
Rt Hon Andrew Lansley CBE MP,
Secretary of State for Health, 8th June 2010:
'My ambition for patient-centred care'
As patients, there should be
no decision about us,
without us.’
NHS Mandate (Commissioning Board)
Domain 2
2.4 …to ensure the NHS
becomes dramatically better
at involving patients and their
carers, and empowering them
to manage and make
decisions about their own
care and treatment.
2.8 …is coordinated around
the needs, convenience and
choices of patients, their
carers and families
RCP Position Statement
Shared Decision Making (SDM) and Support for SelfManagement (SSM) refer to a set of attitudes, roles,
and skills, supported by tools and organisational
systems, which put patients and carers into a full
partnership relationship with clinicians in all clinical
interactions. The College recognises that patients and
carers expect this to be the usual / default experience
in their clinical interactions with Physicians and will
work towards making this part of normal practice
July 2013
Future Hospitals Commission: Core Principle 8
Working with, and empowering, patients is a
fundamental aspect of medical professionalism.
Shared Decision Making should be the norm… Care
should be designed to facilitate autonomy, self-care
and health promotion. Medical staff must acquire
skills for shared decision-making and encouraging
better self-management by patients.
