REALISTIC MEDICINE

Realistic Medicine is supported by a range of professional and patient organisations. We work closely with stakeholders such as the Royal Colleges, the Directors of Medical Education, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and the Alliance to make sure that Realistic Medicine is achieving its aims and working for professionals and patients... Healthcare professionals are the stewards of healthcare resources. We know that overuse of investigation and treatment can result in harm to patients. By seeking out and eliminating harm and waste, we can provide healthcare that people really value... We want people working in health and social care and people who use services to think about the values and the behaviours that underpin good experience. Drawing on these values to have meaningful conversations with people to plan and agree care will support all staff and patients to base care around what matters most to people, with a shared understanding of what healthcare might realistically contribute..
