Abstract:
This guide is a result of an 18-month project which was funded by the Health Foundation (grant ref: 577/2766):‘A peer education service for advance care planning: a development study with older people’ to raise awareness of advance end-of-life care planning among older adults and community groups representing them. The aim of the project was to develop and evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a peer education programme for enabling older people to obtain information about treatment and care options at the end of life.This included advice on how to talk about these issues with other individuals, their families and healthcare professionals.
