During National Advance Care Planning Week, we're supporting health practitioners to start conversations to help people make informed decisions about their future health care preferences.    These conversations improve quality of care by identifying what matters most to people, and enabling them to have their preferences met when they can no longer speak for themselves.    The Advance Project, led by HammondCare, has joined with End of Life Law for Clinicians, Advance Care Planning Australia, and Palliative Care Australia, to produce a quick guide for Advance Care planning.     The two-page guide features resources from The Advance Project, which provides a team-based approach to initiating Advance Care Planning in routine care provision in general practice and aged care settings, and for people living with dementia. #HealthLawQUT  #acpweek24

If a person living with dementia values quality of life, at some point, their goal of care might focus FIRST on comfort. Listen for a few of my thoughts when comfort is the goal and we are thinking about what to do when new medical issues happen.  Specifically how to think about the ER and hospital stays. I’m helping clients to think this through because I don’t see the current medical system doing so until stressful decisions need to be made or the person is moving towards end of life. It’s always better to think ahead if we want the person to receive the care they would choose for themselves. #DementiaDecisions #PhysicianEducator #DementiaCare #CaregiverTips
