Description:
Caring for people at the end of life is an important part of your role as a doctor. Unfortunately, studies show that people often receive end-of-life care that is inconsistent with their wishes and does not meet their needs.
Every patient's needs are unique and working through the emotional and social stresses faced by a dying person and their family can be difficult.
You will develop a better understanding of your role and that of other members of the multidisciplinary team. You will also learn about promoting greater choice, control and communication of care preferences across the team, across agencies, and care settings.

• Explain advance care planning and its role in decision-making
