Advance Care Planning is about planning ahead for you future healthcare, in case you are ever too sick to speak for yourself.
Advance Care Planning is considering:
Decide who you would want to speak for you.
- Who would you want to make medical decisions on your behalf if you were unable to do this yourself?
- You can legally appoint someone you trust to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. This person/s would be known as a Medical Treatment Decision Maker.
What would you want them to say?
- Think about your values and beliefs that are important in your life.
- Think about your current health and possible future health problems
We suggest you write down your wishes.
- On a special form called an Advance Care Directive.
- This is to ensure everyone is clear regarding your decisions, values and beliefs.
