Advance Care Planning & the Law: Practical & Legal Barriers
Update: 2013-11-25
Description
Advance Care Planning is a process (not just a signature on a piece of paper) that allows a person to make and communicate – in advance – decisions about their medical and dental treatment for a future time in case they lose capacity. Ideally it involves a discussion between the person, their doctor and their carer/family/friends, about their values and wishes about end-of-life care , recording those decisions and appointing a substitute decision-maker to ensure their wishes are respected and to make decisions for anything not covered in the Advance Directive.
