@ProfRecordSB @AoMRC Yes, as it will enable a more equal partnership between clinicians and patients - patients will be fully informed about their medical care, will be able to verify that clinicians understand their perspective and will have written information needed for valid treatment decisions.

@alison_allam @ProfRecordSB Totally agree about the importance of tone, manner and style being appropriate for the patient, taking account of their particular circumstances.

[ZMCN001 @zmcn001]

@ProfRecordSB That the letter fully reflects the clinical consultation/conversation, referencing both the clinician’s perspective and the patient’s perspective.

[ZMCN001 @zmcn001]

@ProfRecordSB Yes - in particular writing directly to patients should help greatly with Shared Decision Making as it will promote
partnership and shared responsibility.
