On 8 May 2024, Willow Burn Hospice has shown it's support to the first National Advance Care Plan Day with a new information video and other useful resources to highlight the importance of advance care planning and help empower society to make suitable plans for themselves.
Advance Care Planning is a voluntary process where someone thinks about and makes plans for their future health, social care and wider wishes. An Advance Care Plan can be one or more documents that express someone’s future health, social care and wider wishes.
Advance Care Plans are written statement that sets out wishes, preferences and values about your care. It is not a legal document but is important as it can help to provide guidance for anyone who may need to support you or make decisions in your best interests in the future.
