Abstract
This chapter examines the role of advocacy within the healthcare system, considering the need for advocates to support patients who have to make decisions but may not have the knowledge, confidence or ability to do so. The chapter also discusses the need for an advocate to promote and protect the patient’s autonomy and act on their behalf.
