Advance care planning for volunteers
There are times in our lives when we think about the consequences of becoming seriously ill. Advance Care Planning (ACP) is the process of enabling a person to think about the impact of a future illness or disability and express wishes about their future health care in consultation with care providers and loved ones.
This ACP programme, which has been put together by the University of Nottingham in association with the Dying Matters Coalition and the National End of Life Care Programme, is appropriate for members of community groups, health and social care staff, pensioner's action groups; in fact, anyone with an interest in becoming a volunteer educator.
