Patient decision aids information

Patient decision aids (PDAs) help people decide on healthcare options. They provide evidence-based information on the options available, along with likely outcomes, benefits, harms and uncertainties.

They should be used to inform conversations between a person and their healthcare professional, supporting them to make informed choices in line with their personal values and preferences.

There is also a user guide for the PDA on antipsychotic medicines for treating agitation, aggression and distress in people living with dementia and a user guide for the PDA on enteral (tube) feeding for people living with severe dementia.
