Talk about what matters to you
Discuss the care you would want if you became seriously ill. Include the people you trust and your healthcare team.
Write down your preferences
Record your care goals, beliefs, trusted contacts and the treatments you want to discuss. Keep the plan where your family and healthcare team can find it.
Check whether you need other documents
ACP records your preferences. Ask about an LPA to appoint decision-makers and an AMD for specific end-of-life treatment wishes. They serve different purposes.
