Advance Care Planning Train-the-Trainer Guide

Advance care planning (ACP) is recognised as a cornerstone of person-centred quality care for older persons living in residential aged care facilities (RACF).

To provide quality end-of-life care in line with accreditation standards, it is recommended that each facility should appoint staff to be responsible to embed ACP as part of routine clinical care.

This ACP Train-the-Trainer Guide contains all the information needed for you to fulfil the role as an ACP Champion in your facility. Making ACP part of routine clinical care allows all residents to receive the support they need to make their future health care wishes known in order that their values, beliefs and wishes can be respected and honoured; thus improving end-of-life care in their place of choice.
