What does “What matters to you?” mean?

As healthcare professionals, we want to promote careful, kind human interactions. Asking “What matters to you?” is about understanding what matters to an individual in their life. It’s about having meaningful conversations with individuals, as well as their families and carers.

These conversations can help inform decisions about a person’s health and care. When we engage with individuals about their health and care decisions, it can greatly improve their wellbeing and outcomes.

Help us celebrate ‘What matters to you?’ Day on 6 June
