Optimising Staff-patient Communication in Advanced Renal disease (OSCAR) - 4-year NIHR-funded research study led by @Lucy_Selman. Follow for study updates!
UK
Joined February 2019
Did you know that at some renal units about 5% of older people have dialysis, while at others 95% do? This is partly due to how clinicians communicate about treatment options. In this new blog I discuss how the @OSCAR_study aims to tackle the problem #CKD #decisionmaking.
New research kicking off later this year will investigate how kidney doctors engage with & support older people making the decision whether or not to have dialysis. Found out more about the @OSCAR_study by reading our latest blog by @Lucy_Selman

Dr Chloe Shaw presented Conversation Analytic findings regarding the presentation of treatment options to older patients. We found that clinicians tend to present dialysis as the default treatment & conservative management as subordinate. 3/3
