The Advance Care Planning (ACP) program commenced in 2012 for a 12 month trial to see if this is what our community wanted…and here we are still!
I was appointed the ACP Coordinator and still hold the position, however, I commenced at KDHS in 1980, in District Nursing/ Palliative Care and as a Breast Care Nurse (although I had some years off to have our children).

I love offering our community the opportunity to discuss and document their future health care wishes, if the day came and they could not speak for themselves. Knowing a person’s wishes, means they can be respected and have medical decisions made based on their values, beliefs and preferences.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦?
People really want to remove the burden of decision making from those they have appointed as Medical decision makers who are often family.
They want to have the peace of mind that the things that matter to them will be respected if they can’t tell us what’s important at the time.

𝐈 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦:
We have 100% mortality rate so Advance Care Planning is relevant to all of us.
And talking about dying, won’t make you die!
