COSMOS – Consultation Skills that Matter for Surgeons - Shared Decision Making
11th February 2025, 19:00 to 20:30 GMT
Overview
Our consultations form the basis of the whole package of surgical care. They determine patients’ choices, their confidence, their ability to cope with complications, and much else. But do we take the same care with them as we do with an operation?
In this webinar we will cover key points of the RCSEd COSMOS programme, module A, which is about “Shared Decision Making”.
