There is a growing concern regarding the quality of communication between medical professionals and those who receive mental health services from them . One focus of this concern has been around how the medics convey information to their patients – or not. “A Question of Choice” surveyed the treatment experiences service users. At the basic level of talking about treatment, and taking steps to ensure correct administration of drugs, a third or more of users reported no communication from their doctor; while about two thirds reported being given no information on possible side effects of their treatment or being offered any choice of treatment.
