This article explores contrasting models of clinical decision-making observed during a medical elective at Bach Mai Hospital, Vietnam, and Sheffield Children’s Hospital (SCH), UK. It highlights how cultural, systemic and ethical contexts shape decision-making and how these differences influence patient autonomy. The reflection concludes by considering how these insights will inform future practice, particularly in balancing decisiveness with multidisciplinary team (MDT) involvement when delivering patient-centred care in clinical environments.
