Shared Decision Making Dinner
Wednesday 15 September 2010 - London
Shared decision making is at the heart of improving quality. It transforms the relationship between people who use services and those who provide them. In his first speech as Secretary of State for Health, Andrew Lansley said: ‘... patients must be at the heart of everything we do, not just as beneficiaries of care, but as participants in shared decision-making. As patients, there should be no decision about us, without us.’
But are we really comfortable with the implications of people having more control over decisions about their healthcare and treatment? And what needs to change in service incentives, professional practice and patient responsibility to shift to shared decision making from an aspiration to ‘the way we do things’?
This invitation only dinner provided key opinion leaders and influencers with an opportunity to meet, share insights and to explore ways to work together to improve patient experience (and efficiency) through better communication and shared decision making. Mr Simon Burns, Minister of State for Health, was a guest at the dinner.
Personal Health Records - Making things better
Thursday 22 July 2010 - London
This is a round table event looked at consumer access to and use of their health records. The purpose of the event was to look collectively at the issues that need to be addressed in order to increase awareness and uptake, irrespective of the actual mechanisms patients use to access and use their records.
To stimulate group discussion around the challenges and solutions faced in making patient health records an everyday element of citizen’s health and wellbeing, the event is divided into three main themes; Evidence, Governance and Changing cultures.
