My Life, My Wishes Advance Care Plan
Advance Care Planning (ACP) is a process that supports adults at any age or stage of health in understanding and sharing their personal values, life goals, and preferences regarding future care
Welcome to My Life, My Wishes This document is an Advance Care Plan (ACP) or Statement of Wishes. It has been designed for use by adults who have mental capacity (the ability to make their own decisions). Completing it is a voluntary process that can help you record your wishes about how you would like to be cared for in the future. This information can be very helpful for your loved ones and for health and care professionals involved in your care and treatment. You do not need to be unwell to complete it. This is your document – health and care professionals may take copies if you wish, but this document needs to stay with you. If you are happy to share this document with your health or care professionals, please make sure you read the information on page 9. You can complete this document by yourself, with a person close to you or with a health and care professional. It can be changed at any time and is not a legally binding document. You do not need to complete the whole document and can revisit any section if required. It is a good idea to review your wishes regularly and let your health and care professionals know of any updates that you make. Please sign and date any additions or changes on page 13 -15 (as well as signing and dating on page 9 on first completing your ACP). The information in this document will only be considered if you cannot communicate your wishes. It will be helpful if those close to you know about this document, and where it is kept. If you need help to complete this document see the My Life, My Wishes Guidance booklet, or contact your GP surgery, local ACP champion or any health and care professional involved in your care.
