Understanding Advanced Care Planning

  • Summary

  • For many people, making decisions and a plan for future healthcare needs might feel uncomfortable or irrelevant. But, if a time comes when you're unable to make or communicate decisions about your care, an Advanced Care Plan could be crucial in ensuring your treatment is in line with your preferences, beliefs and values. For doctors and other health workers, successfully understanding and enacting an Advanced Care Plan can help you provide the desired treatment outcome for your patients.

    Join Round Up host, Dr Elissa Hatherly, as she chats with Cairns-based Psychologist Denise Craig about advanced care planning. Specialising in dementia and end-of-life care, Denise provides insights for primary healthcare practitioners on the recent updates to legislation, how to navigate the process with families, and other important information to ensure patients' treatment aligns with their preferences and values.
