Identifying the differences and similarities and agreeing a common language to describe the strategy is likely to lead to a greater impact of any communications and attempts to increase engagement in the agenda. A common language might also strengthen cultural ties to this way of working as part of a value set. In addition, whilst this research has asked about beliefs and attitudes clinicians’ to SMS/SDM, the specifics of what this means have not been tested.

With respect to sub-cultures, it is worthwhile exploring why engaging with nursing communities is more challenging than AHPs. Nursing staff form the largest professional group across the organisation and are recognised as having particular challenges, with morale, recruitment and retention being national problems.
