Bio

Glyn Elwyn, clinician, and researcher, is the co-director of the Coproduction Laboratory within The Dartmouth Institute. He leads an international interdisciplinary team to examine the implementation of shared decision making into clinical settings, using innovative tools and measures, such as collaboRATE, a patient experience measure of shared decision making, and Observer OPTION-5, for use on recorded data. He developed Option Grids™ patient decision aids, tools designed to support collaboration between clinicians and patients, licensed to EBSCO in 2017. More recently he has investigated the impact of patients’ recording their visits to clinical encounters, and how this might enhance their role in decision-making.

 

He holds chair appointments at the Scientific Institute for Quality of Healthcare, University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Netherlands; UniSante University in Lausanne, Switzerland; Cochrane Institute for Primary Care and Public Health, Cardiff University; and at University College London. He is the lead editor of Shared decision making: Evidence-Based Patient Choice, Oxford University Press, 3rd edition, 2016.

Limiting the harmful effect of power imbalance in medical practice lies at the core of my scientific work. How can we make sure that people make decisions with the best possible information about the inherent trade-offs that exist when considering treatments? What skills do clinicians need to facilitate collaboration and careful deliberation process? Are there attitudinal or cultural barriers that need to be tackled? Is the ethical imperative to involve people in decisions not sufficient? If not, why not?
