Respecting Patient Choices
The Respecting Patient Choices Program is a program to support advance care planning. What is advance care planning? You have the right to have a say in your health care, now and for the future. Making decisions about your future medical treatment is called advance care planning. Advance care planning is thinking about and discussing with the important people in your life and your carers in advance what medical treatments you would and would not want if you were unable to communicate or make medical decisions and were seriously ill, had an accident or were dying.
