Abstract

Medical consumerism brings together diverse threads: from helping patients to make good choices through overcoming the paternalistic model up to reformist grassroot movements advocating prevention, healthy lifestyle in cooperation with local communities and governments, and the most important postulate: increasing patient engagement in making medical decisions, co-participation and co-creation. Considerations discussed in this paper have led to putting forward changes that address stakeholders and human relations. The discourse that has been going on in the UK and in the United States and current reports on adherence highlight the urgency with which solutions that counteract threats should be put in place. The subject taken up in this paper calls for interdisciplinary studies that would allow to assess the degree of patient’s engagement in the development of medical policy.
