This four page document introduces Hodges' model a conceptual framework that can be used universally. The model incorporates four knowledge domains: Interpersonal; Sociological; Scientific; & Political (Autonomy). The public, patients and their carers can also be taught to use the model, enabling engagement, understanding and concordance in various fields for example - education, care planning and outcome evaluation.
