Information & Resources
Useful leaflets and resources to help you and your family following a life-limiting diagnosis.
The NHS and Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS have a wide range of resources which offer more information about palliative care treatments and plans for patients and carers.
Developing an Advance Care Plan means making people aware of your preferences when you approach the last stages of your life. The people that need to know about your ACP may include your spouse, children, friends, nursing & other health professional teams, and GP.
An ACP allows to you to document your wishes (making things simpler for those looking after you) , including your feelings about your religious or spiritual beliefs, where you would like to be looked after and personal preferences such as having a shower rather than a bath or sleeping with a light on. Perhaps you have concerns about pets or other practical issues or concerns.
