H3 Seminar Series - Implementing Shared Decision Making ft Professor Glyn Elwyn

What happens when the ideal of shared decision making meets the messy realities of culture, family influence, and system constraints? In this session, global SDM leader Prof Glyn Elwyn breaks down what meaningful partnership in care really demands; the trust, clarity, and dialogue needed for patients to feel heard and involved. But he also examines where SDM becomes challenging: when values clash, when uncertainty looms, or when time and workflow pressures get in the way. With A/Prof Tang Wern Ee offering lived clinical perspectives from the Asian context, the conversation reveals how autonomy, collective decision making, and social expectations collide — and how clinicians can navigate these tensions to support thoughtful, patient aligned choices.
