Talking Risk, Benefit, and Choice: Shared Decision-Making in Rheumatology
Friday, 25 September, 2026
How do we talk about risk in a way that is honest, balanced and easy to understand? And what happens when the third person in the consultation room is Dr AI?In this latest episode of Patient Voices, host Dr Yik Man is joined by Dalila Tremarias, patient partner and advocate, and Dr Katie Bechman, Consultant Rheumatologist and Epidemiologist, for a thought-provoking discussion on communication, trust and decision-making in modern healthcare.Together, they explore the central role of the patient-clinician relationship, how we discuss treatment risks and benefits, and the challenges of navigating health information in an era shaped by social media, misinformation and rapidly evolving technology. The conversation also considers the opportunities and pitfalls of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and how we can harness its potential to support, rather than replace, meaningful human connections in clinical care. A fascinating episode for clinicians, patients and anyone interested in the future of healthcare communication. Thanks for listening to Talking Rheumatology!
