ACP and dementia
If you have dementia, having an advance care plan means people will know your wishes, even if you can no longer tell them. The Health Quality & Safety Commission has released a series of videos as part of a campaign focusing on advance care planning and dementia. The videos share the viewpoints and experiences of health care practitioners and those living with dementia.
