29m · Haemcast · 20 Feb 11:40

"Shared decision making" has quickly become the new phrase bandied about at event and conferences within the haemophilia community. But what does shared decision making in haemophilia and bleeding disorders really look like? In this episode, our host Dr Kate Khair deep dives in to this topic with Dr Len Valentino, CEO at the National Hemophilia Foundation (USA), exploring what shared decision making really means in this community and why, in this evolving treatment landscape, this is drawing so much focus and attention. There is a need to shift away from the paternalistic healthcare professional and patient relationship, and to engage patients in a dialogue about their treatment, care and goals. This is at the heart of shared decision making.
