NICE Guideline NG197 - Shared decision making

The teach back method is a useful way to confirm that the information provided is being understood by getting people to 'teach back' what has been discussed and what instruction has been given. This is more than saying 'do you understand?' and is a check of how well things have been explained and understood.
