Abstract

In this opinion piece, we appraise the International Evidence-based Guideline for the Assessment and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome 2023 from a person-centric perspective. We discuss how the authors balance evidence with empathy and offer excellence in clinical decision-making while ensuring the empowerment of the affected individual. We note how they skilfully use powerful words and phrases to capture the essence of person-centred care. Finally, we suggest how these guidelines can be strengthened and how they can be used to create a template for guidance on the management of other chronic disorders.
