Advanced Care Planning
Your Voice. Your Choice.
Advance Care Planning is not a one-time activity. As life changes, your circumstances, priorities, and preferences may change too. That's why it's important to view your plan as a living document that can be reviewed and updated over time.
To make sure your wishes continue to reflect what matters most to you:
Review your wishes regularly
Update your plans when circumstances change
Share your plan with the people who may need it, including family members, trusted friends, healthcare professionals, or anyone who may be involved in your care.
Keeping your Advance Care Plan up to date helps ensure that your current values and preferences guide decisions about your care, both now and in the future.
What If You Don't Have Anyone to Share Your Plan With?
Not everyone has family members, close friends, or trusted individuals they feel comfortable discussing their future care wishes with. This can make Advance Care Planning feel more challenging, but it should never be a barrier to making your preferences known.
Support is available to help individuals explore their options, discuss what matters most to them, and document their wishes for future care. Having the opportunity to talk through decisions with a supportive and knowledgeable person can provide clarity, confidence, and reassurance. Our Rest Assured service might be just what you’re looking for.
Looking Ahead
Advance Care Planning is about more than healthcare decisions. It's about ensuring your values, preferences, and voice remain at the centre of your care, whatever the future may hold.
By taking the time to think ahead, have open conversations, and record your wishes, you can help reduce uncertainty for loved ones, support healthcare professionals in providing person-centred care, and ensure that your choices are understood and respected. An accident or sudden illness can happen to anyone at anytime.
Your voice. Your choice. Your future care.
