Advance Care Planning research

Advance Care Planning is a process that supports people who wish to make a healthcare plan for a time when they may be unable to make their own decisions.

Advance Care Planning helps ensure a person’s choices are known and respected for future medical treatment. It also makes things easier for your family by preventing confusion and conflict over medical decision making.
