The Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act.
Call On Clare - Clare Cotter
We provide on-call Nurses and Support Workers who can be onsite within 2 hours if contacted during hour business hours which is 0900 - 1700hrs seven days a week.
The Medical Treatment Planning and Decisions Act 2016 goes into effect 12 March.
You can down load forms required from Advance Care Planning Australia, but the hardest part we may find is starting this conversation/process.
It gives you the opportunity to set in place your values and what you would like for your future health care.
Yes you are okay now but how would you like your end of life to be, what would you like to experience and under what circumstances?
We may make decisions of quality of life in the now, but do you take into consideration your appreciation of life at a particular time. Your current thinking may be of the thought, being incontinent is no quality of life, but if your loved ones were to see you incontinent but fully engaged in life how are they to follow out your directives?
This link shall assist you in setting up your wishes for the future.
