Overview of session
For the past year Newham has been doing some targeted work to raise awareness of advance care planning in the borough. Residents have consistently shared their worries about their end-of-life wishes, particularly about their faith, not being known about. If we are serious about respecting what matters to people and helping them make informed decisions, then advance care planning and the conversations it opens up are really important.

This event will provide an opportunity to hear more about what residents are telling us and to collaboratively develop practical solutions on advance care planning that can be integrated in your day to day practice

• Advance care planning what it is and what it’s not
