This World Kidney Cancer Day, we need to listen.

Being listened to

Conversations between healthcare professional and patients should be collaborative to combine the clinician’s expertise of treatment options, evidence, risks and benefits, with the patient’s preferences, personal circumstances, goals values and beliefs.

“Emotions can cloud judgement, and this can lead to important information being missed.”

Carl, England

What to do if you don’t feel listened to

To make informed decisions, patients should feel empowered to request a second opinion if they don’t feel listened to as well as getting information from more than one source.

“…the management made me feel confident in all the decisions…and gave me the peace of mind that I was in the best hands.

Gilbert, Costa Rica

Choosing who you listen to

The rise of people turning to social media for health advice is leading to increased misinformation. So, when you’re listening to information, here are some things to consider:

  1. Check who wrote the information and what their credentials are
  2. Check the facts against the original source
  3. Search outside of social media to widen your views and avoid echo chambers

“I shared my worries of 
 being a solo parent and how I felt 
 the stakes were higher for me now.”

Charlotte, UK
