Supporting
the process
of making an ADRT |
|
|
The
person who retains capacity always has the right to change
their ADRT. Remember, this ADRT only applies when a person
loses capacity. A valid and applicable “real time” decision
always overrides a previous (inactive) ADRT.
A
person is always allowed to change their mind. If there
is any reasonable doubt about any such decision senior
advice should be sort.
As
a professional you are there to help with the consequences
of this change, despite it being the person’s primary
responsibility.
Avoid
mistakes by clear communication and documentation. |
