| Let People Know |
| Advance care planning does not always need to be in writing. However the professionals involved in your care and members of your family may find it helpful if your wishes and preferences are in writing. It is a good idea to give a copy of your wishes to everyone who needs to know. Remember to keep your own copy safe. |
| By letting people know about your wishes you may have an opportunity to discuss your views with those close to you. |
| If you have made an advance decision to refuse specific treatment you must be sure that the people involved in your care know this. Ask your nurse or doctor to help you do this. |
