Advance Care Planning (ACP)

Advance Care Planning (ACP) is the process of thinking about, documenting and sharing one’s wishes, beliefs, values and preferences for one’s future care. This process is often captured in a document called an advance care plan. The plan and the conversations around it can be used to help align and coordinate care around these preferences. This means that the care people receive towards the end of their life is more likely to be the kind of care they want.

ACP should be offered to anyone who wants to, including children where appropriate. I would add that an advance care plan can be made for people with partial capacity with the input of those who know them best and their LPA if there is one or an IMCA (Independent Medical Capacity Advocate) if there is no-one more appropriate.

Advanced Care Planning is a very good idea for people who have physical disabilities and would not recover and need help.
