Advance care planning
We make plans in advance for many aspects of our lives, including death. We make wills, think about funerals, even choose the music we want played at the service. An advance care directive is a written document that records your wishes concerning the medical treatment decisions to be made, should you become unable to speak for yourself due to illness or injury. It’s a good idea to get your GP to help you make your advance care directive because they know you and your health situation and they can make sure you understand the options you might face in certain situations.
