Shared decision making

Shared decision making learning package

To support implementation of the NICE guideline on shared decision making, Keele University and NICE have worked in partnership to develop an online learning package. This is suitable for all healthcare professionals and aims to equip people with the skills and knowledge they need to have good-quality shared decision-making conversations with the people they are caring for. The learning package is free to access and users can do so by clicking on the links below. It takes approximately 4 hours to complete and is made up of 6 modules:

• Orientation and background  
• Cognitive psychology: the science of how we all make decisions
• Evidence-based medicine
