Ask Three Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ask 3 Questions<\/strong> is a simple way of helping patients get more involved in their treatment and care. It supports the NHS\u2019s aim of \u201cno decision about me, without me\u2019.<\/p>\n

The three questions are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are my options?<\/li>\n
  2. What are the pros and cons of each option for me?<\/li>\n
  3. How do I get support to help me make a decision that is right for me?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    An optional fourth question may also be asked:   \u2018What if I do nothing?\u2019<\/p>\n

    Addressing these questions during a consultation can aid decisions about the best course of action for each individual patient.<\/p>\n

    What are the benefits?<\/strong><\/p>\n
