Abstract
Advance care planning is a process designed to enable patients to discuss and record their values and treatment preferences to inform future care in the event that they lose decision-making capacity. Current law provides for the appointment of a proxy decision-maker under a Lasting Power of Attorney, or advance decisions for treatment refusal. A further option is a statement of wishes to record the values and views to be used to inform the determination of best interests. Nurses can play an invaluable role in facilitating open and frank discussion.
