Abstract

Supporting necessary discussions about care during a COVID-19 outbreak
Advance care planning is a way to communicate personal values, wishes and preferences for future care. This information helps to ensure those involved in care decisions understand what is important to an individual should they be unable to share their wishes in the future.
Often only people facing a life-threatening condition consider advance care planning. However, during the COVID-19 period, we all face these issues, whether about ourselves or someone we care for. Furthermore, social distancing or shielding may impact choices and preferences about future care plans. It is therefore important to be proactive about advance care planning during this time.

This website has been designed to deliver information to family members of care home residents and care home staff to increase awareness and understanding of advance care planning. We hope this will support communication and shared decision-making.
