Shared Decision Making (SDM) Episodes

Mark is an NHS GP and award winning journalist. He spends half his week working as a GP partner in rural Gloucestershire, and the rest investigating and reporting on the latest developments in medicine. We chat to Mark about his new practice pharmacy professionals, deprescribing, and the six-week wait for hospital discharge communication.

Welcome back for series 2! We talk to Jonathan Underhill who is a consultant clinical adviser for NICE and has a research interest in Evidence-Informed Decision Making. We discuss the new NICE 5 year strategy, Shared Decision making and what autobiographies can teach us about human behaviour.

We meet our first guest, Clare Howard who has worked in pharmacy since she was 16 and in the past was Deputy Chief Pharmaceutical Officer for NHS England. She is now the Medicines Optimisation Clinical Director for the Wessex Academic Health & we discuss polypharmacy, PINCER, multimorbidity as well as middle aged apathy.
