Abstrakt: In the 2010 white paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS, the government calls for a service focused on shared decision making between doctors and their patients. 'No decision about me, without me' was one of the key messages. Furthermore, the annual National Health Service (NHS) patient survey reveals a sustained but unmet demand for greater patient involvement in treatment decisions. The white paper calls for an information revolution in the NHS in order to place valid information in the hands of patients, enabling valid choices to be made. This process requires both accurate data and suitable dissemination to patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
