The NICE-led shared decision making collaborative is a group of organisations and individuals committed to thinking collectively about the role of shared decision making in UK health systems, drawing on international experience. It comprises a range of organisations from the statutory sector, patient and voluntary sector organisations and academia.

NHS England is a key partner within the Collaborative and contributes to a number of its priorities, including:

• leadership and culture change;
• local leadership;
• shared decision making tools;
• measurements of successful shared decision making; and
• research.
