Shared Decision Making: Person-Centred Care and The Values Agenda (SDM-I)
A 2-Day Conference jointly organised by the European Society for Person Centered Healthcare (ESPCH), London, UK, the Collaborating Centre for Values-based Practice in Health and Social Care (VBP) at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, UK, and the European Institute for Person Centered Health and Social Care (EIPCHSC), University of West London, UK.
As UK NICE guidelines note, shared decision-making involves health professionals and patients working together with the goal of putting people at the centre of decisions about their own treatment and care. The 2015 Montgomery ruling makes shared decision-making based on values and evidence the basis of consent to medical treatment, with wide-ranging implications for healthcare practices, law and policy. The conference will bring together clinicians, policy-makers, patient experts and academics from a range of disciplines to consider the challenges health providers face in this new environment. What shifts are necessary in our current thinking and practice to make shared decision-making a reality? What barriers are there to establishing shared decision-making as the norm in health practice and policy? How do we measure success – or the lack of it – in these contexts? What are the other philosophical and empirical research questions which warrant urgent consideration?
Price per Attendee: Attendance for the two days of the Conference is £200 GBP; Attendance for one day of the Conference (either 25th or 26th March 2019) is £120 GBP; Attendance for the Networking Cocktail Reception (25th March 2019, following the proceedings of the First Day Sessions) is £40 GBP.
