NHS England’s Dementia Team have just published their new guide My Future Wishes: Advance Care Planning (ACP) for people with dementia in all care settings.
NHS England developed the guide, in response to the Dementia Challenge 2020 which maintains that “By 2020 we would wish to see… All people with a diagnosis of dementia being given the opportunity for advance care planning.” In the view of NHS England the ACP is “fundamental for everyone living with dementia. It enhances choice, aids delivery of person-centred end of life care, helps to guide care when mental capacity is lost and provides support for families and carers.”
