2.00pm - Advance Care Planning: why bother? Presented by Northern health

We plan ahead for a number of possible situations.  Advance Care Planning is planning ahead for health care decisions in case you are unable to make decisions for yourself.  It can involve appointing a trusted decision-maker, talking to them about what would be important, and perhaps writing some of this down in an Advance Care Directive.  This presentation will describe the components of Advance Care Planning and how Advance Care Planning can be useful to the person doing the planning and to their family.
