Shared decision-making is a collaborative process that involves a person and their healthcare professional working together to reach a joint decision about care.
It involves choosing tests and treatments based both on evidence and on the persons individual preferences, beliefs and values.
As part of shared decision making, presenting a complete picture of benefits, risks or areas of uncertainties is important, so people can make an informed decision about the treatment they wish to have.
This is particularly relevant to menopause care, where many topics remain nuanced.
