User and carer information - materials are provided here which may be helpful in supporting users and carers wanting to participate in an advance care planning process
"Planning for your future care - a guide" has been developed to provide basic information and support to patients/carers and professionals about the process of advance care planning. See below for further information.
The National End of Life Care Programme in collaboration with the University of Nottingham and the National Council for Palliative Care has developed the enclosed booklet.
The aim is to provide simple and easy to understand guidance for patients making advance care plans for their future. It may prove relevant to family members and informal carers. We anticipate that professionals will find this booklet a useful support tool when approaching the often difficult situation of discussing advance care planning with people who have a life limiting illness.
This guide is also available in a printable A5 booklet version or an order form can be downloaded.
