As National Healthcare Decisions Day approaches, think about the questions you might want to be asking yourself about the type of care you would want through the end of life. If you'd like, start to test out feeler questions with the people closest to you, like the ones we have in our What Matters to Me Workbook for those living with serious illness.

If you missed today's webinar about life with a long-term health condition, the recording is available now on our website. We are grateful to the four speakers who shared their experiences, including how hard life can be when you live with #LongTermHealthConditions. Simon said: "You feel like you're not contributing anymore. It feels like you've lost your dreams or all the things that you maybe wanted to do in your life. And it just feels like you're being left behind." Watch the video to hear from all four speakers, including their ideas of how services for them and other patients like them can be improved - some of their ideas were cost-free and focused on culture. This webinar was held to support the Forgotten Majority campaign, which wants the NHS to put services for long-term health conditions at the heart of its services, given millions of us now live with a long-term condition. https://lnkd.in/eDn9cgNf

🏥💬 Is A POLST Different From An Advanced Health Care Directive? 📜🤔 During meetings with clients to discuss estate planning, I am often asked: “Is a POLST different from an Advanced Health Care Directive?” The answer is YES - An Advanced Health Care Directive allows you to choose the person you want to speak for you and provides a general guide to what you want. It is important for you to understand what each of these options means and to talk with your doctor before making any decision. You can then make an informed choice regarding the treatment options you want and don’t want. 🩺💡 If you want to find out more about POLST, message me for a consultation. 💬🔒 https://lnkd.in/g4vZkBQR #POLSTExplained #EstatePlanningLawyer #HealthCareDirectives #InformedChoices #EstatePlanningTips 💼👨⚖️
