Advance Care Planning is a process rather than a form, a series of conversations not a one-off event and very much part of everyday life not just something associated in later life.
Clare Fuller teaches members of the public, and health and social care professionals, and hosts a podcast ‘Conversations about Advance Care Planning’.
In England the Universal Principles for Advance Care Planning set out a universal personalised approach to Advance Care Planning and aim to support a consistent approach to “what good looks like” in Advance Care Planning. The work is in response to recommendations in the CQC report Protect, respect, connect - decisions about living and dying well during COVID-19, one of which called for a more consistent approach to Advance Care Planning.
There is no standard Advance Care Plan in England, and forms between areas can differ but ACP is a process rather than a form. This study day will help staff in care homes to have the important conversations leading to the development of an advance care plan
