Reflecting on Living Wills

Reflecting on Living Wills

If you could no longer communicate your wishes around your health/ end of life care, would others know what you might want?

This one day workshop will offer you time and space to reflect on what matters to you in relation to planning your end-of-life care and composing your personal Advance Healthcare Directive* or Living Will. There will be time for reflection, meditation, listening and debate around this most important topic.

Advance Heathcare Directive* – since Dec 2015 an adult with capacity can make a legally binding statement, known as a living will, on how we would like to be cared for if we were to lose capacity and unable to make treatment decisions for ourselves.
