ADVANCE CARE PLANNING

Advance care planning is the process that empowers a person to express their wishes for care, levels of treatment and acceptable health outcomes if they were to get too sick to express themselves later on.

When an advance care plan is documented, it can guide clinical decision-making should a person be unable to participate in making decisions for themselves. However, we understand that it can be very confusing for the patient and families to decide about this. Our team of professionals assists in a way so that you can make a sensible and informed decision about your future care.
