It’s OK to Ask campaign

The ‘It’s OK to Ask’ campaign aims to empower people to take an active role in their healthcare.

The public are being encouraged to play an active part in their care and treatment, based on ‘what matters to you’, making sure you understand what’s going on with your health, so you can make better decisions around your care and treatment.

Shared decision making is the term the NHS and healthcare use to describe this; when people and doctors, nurses or health care professionals work together to make evidence based decisions centred on what matters to you and your goals.

NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB is running the initiative.

To find out more, visit the ICB It’s OK to Ask webpage.
