This presentation introduces shared decision-making and explores how GPs can engage in open conversations with patients about all available options—including the choice of no treatment—using decision aids and other supportive resources. It also highlights how shared decision-making and motivational interviewing techniques work together to uncover patient goals, facilitate difficult conversations, and support lifestyle-focused alternatives aligned with individual values and clinical evidence.
