We health care professionals are supposed to be guided by these - though they are not 'Rules that must be obeyed' This bit at the start caught my eye
'Treatment and care should take into account individual needs and preferences. Patients should have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their care and treatment, in partnership with their healthcare professionals.'
Of course there was a lot of 'devil in the detail' later but it marks a significant movement towards partnership with patients which I thought the members of the forum should be alerted to. I hope in particular for those who find the low carb diet works it will mean the doctor or nurse should take more account of your wishes.
Cheers David
