Abstract
It has long been recognised that better health care policy and practice may be achieved by paying more attention to the views and experiences of health care users and indeed of all members of the community (i.e. the citizens). There are many ways to encourage citizens to share their views about health care, and one method is known as a citizens’ jury. Similar in principle to a court jury, a citizens’ jury in healthcare brings together a group of citizens from diverse backgrounds (conceptually representative of the broader citizenship) to consider a particular aspect of health care. Over the course of days, members of the Jury listen to expert witnesses presenting their views on the nature of the problem, raising issues as well as solutions dependent on their perspectives. Jurors are given the opportunity to question these witnesses and ask for other witnesses to appear and give their views. They then discuss as a group what they have learned and attempt to come to an agreed view on the best way forward. At the end of this process the citizens’ jury findings and recommendations are made available to health service policy makers and clinicians.
