Register for the 2024 National Advance Care Planning Week Virtual Forum
The Statewide Office of Advance Care Planning invites health professionals in Queensland to register for the 2024 National Advance Care Planning (ACP) Week Virtual Forum.
Advance care planning involves informing and educating your patients about their ongoing health care options specific to their needs, then supporting their decision-making. Advance care planning may be general or require specific advice about an Advanced Health Directive, Enduring Power of Attorney, Statement of Choices or forms to revoke these documents.
