Conversations About Advance Care Planning
Welcome to conversations about Advance Care Planning. This is the podcast where we talk about Advance Care Planning, what it is, how to do it and why it matters. Conversations about Advance Care Planning has grown from my passion to support professional understanding and promote public awareness about planning ahead. If you are a team looking to provide better end of life care, or set up a one off or complete education programme in end of life care head to https://www.speakformelpa.co.uk where I provide details on how I can help you. You will also find information about my Lasting Power of Attorney consultancy and the talks I offer for organisations. After listening, please give the podcast a 5* rating or leave a review and tell us about what you've done for your advance care planning. If you take something of value fromlistening, please consider buying me a coffee to go towards making more valuable podcast episodes: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/6nQVJqVgLY
