Our Health - Our Knowledge

This short web course is designed to help people who are thinking about choices in healthcare. That includes patients, family members, carers, healthcare students, healthcare professionals, and policy makers. Patients are expected to be offered choices in treatments. But it can be hard in the confines of a short appointment, and with the stress of COVID-19. Both professionals and patients often find this difficult!
