Screenshot of post text from LinkedIn blog: These 9 responsibilities, each start with "Please" & some rights do emphasise active patient involvement.

But what is the NHS doing to realise the potential of these principles?

A number of steps should be taken:

1️⃣ At 18, every citizen should receive a contract outlining their rights and responsibilities, in print and digitally.

2️⃣ Wellbeing alternatives beyond GP visits should be expanded, with community support & non-drug therapies to reduce NHS overuse.

3️⃣ Before their first outpatient visit, patients should receive a briefing on expected questions (e.g., for hip pain) to better prepare for consultations.

4️⃣ No elective surgeries should proceed without formal, evidence-based decision support.

5️⃣ Those with long-term conditions should have a written plan emphasising their role as a partner in managing their health, with encouragement to connect with relevant charities, or https://healthtalk.org/ (Dipex Charity)
