There are major advantages to you and the people you care about, if you have sensible plans in place to ensure that your wishes are known and will be followed in a situation where you are not yourself able to state what you want. More and more health bodies and organisations are promoting better advance care and end-of life planning and demonstrating the benefits for individuals and for their families and friends.
It is very important to think through what your wishes are, to discuss these with the person you nominate to act for you and to document them clearly. This booklet includes detailed suggestions on how to go through this process and issues to consider in choosing a person to act for you.
