Advance Care Planning- My Wishes and ReSPECT Plan
Advance care planning (ACP) is a voluntary process. It gives patients an opportunity to share their wishes and preferences for future care, based on what matters most to them. Documenting this helps guide future health care. This can be important if you become too poorly or are unable to make or express choices at the point of care.
People who have completed advance care planning tell us how it reassures them to know that their individual wishes are documented and how this can influence their personalised care.
Advance care planning also supports friends and family during times of crisis, by ensuring that those important to the patient can see preferences for care, relieving them of the burden of uncertainty.
This process may involve more than one conversation over time and can be with whoever the patient wants to involve.

ReSPECT Plan
ReSPECT stands
for Recommended Summary Plan
for Emergency Care
and Treatment.
ReSPECT
is a national initiative which documents individualised
recommendations for a person’s clinical care in emergency situations when they
do not have capacity to make or express choices.
Such
emergencies may include death or cardiac arrest but are not limited to those
events. The process is intended to respect both patient preferences and
clinical judgement. The agreed realistic clinical recommendations that are
recorded include a recommendation on whether
or not CPR should be attempted if the person’s heart and breathing stop.
