    trade-offs and uncertainties with patients
  • explain the inter-relationship between shared decision making, evidence-based medicine
    and patient-centred care in the context of communicating benefits and benefits of treatment options.
  • list key communication skills needed when talking with patients about evidence

  • outline the role of decision support tools, potential uses and where to locate them
