title: Everybody matters 3: engaging patients and relatives in decision making to promote dignity.
abstract: Practical interventions are presented around three main themes in this three part series. This third part explores "shared decision making--involve me" (Bridges et al, 2009). This recognises the importance of engaging patients, family and staff in decisions about care and treatment. The article offers a range of interventions to hear the voices of patients, staff and relatives.
