Advance Care Planning (ACP) is an essential part of end of life
care in the UK and most developed countries. It enables more people
to live well and die as they would choose, and has significant
implications for the individual person, their family and carers,
and our wider society. In the context of an ageing population and
increasing possibilities for medical interventions, ACP is a
particularly important aspect of quality care. Expanded and fully
updated throughout, this new edition gives a comprehensive overview
of ACP and explores a wide range of issues and practicalities in
providing end of life care. Written by experts from around the
world, the book takes a comprehensive look at the subject by
exploring the wide range of issues and practicalities in providing
ACP; framing the purpose, process, and outcomes of these plans; and
providing an important update on national and international
research, policy and practice. Chapters also discuss values, goals
and priorities, and include detailed case examples to aid best
practice. This book is an invaluable resource for all clinicians
involved in the caring for people in their final stages of life. It
is of particular value to GPs, palliative care specialists,
geriatricians, social care teams, researchers and policy leads
interested in improving end of life care.
