Pressure Ulcer Prevention - No thank you
On occasions, individuals may decline a suggested care intervention which may lead to increased risk and conflict with staff wishing to add in these interventions. This webinar explores why people may make decisions about their care that healthcare professionals find challenging. Why HCPs find these decisions challenging. What national guidance there is around this topic. What you can do when a person decides not to adhere to suggested care interventions.
Learning Outcomes
- To consider why people may decline care interventions
- To be aware of national guidance and research into concordance/adherence
- To be aware of shared decision-making and what this means
- To understand what to do when concordance cannot be achieved
