Advance Care Planning Sessions 🌼

Imagine you have been admitted to hospital unable to speak and are critically ill. How do you want the hospital staff to treat you? If your life is in the balance, do you want them to pull out all stops and revive you? Or would you prefer that they do something else?

If you have an Advance Care Plan (ACP), this will tell what you want them to do. Mary-Ann Hardcastle, the ACP Facilitator from Nelson Bays Primary Health is running several information sessions and workshops at the Age Concern Offices on:
• Tuesday 16 August 2022, 10.00 - 11.00am (Nelson Office)
• Wednesday 14 September 2022, 1.00 - 2.00pm (Richmond Office)
• Tuesday 11 October 2022, 10.00 - 11.30am (Nelson Office)
• Wednesday 23 November 2022, 1.00 - 2.00pm (Richmond Office)
