Helping you make the right decisions about your care when in hospital.
NHS Wales resources, forms, policies and information.
None of us wants to think of ourselves as so ill that we couldn’t decide for ourselves, but this does happen to many people, and if you haven’t made your own wishes known then someone else will be deciding for you.
This site draws on the expertise of NHS Wales, the National Council of Palliative Care, Hospice UK as well as other organisations from across the country to help you start thinking about your Advance Care Plan.
Information about charities and trusts that offer advice and support, and links to bereavement services in each local health board.
Talk CPR’s goal is to encourage conversation about CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for people affected by life-limiting and palliative illnesses. Talking about Do Not Attempt CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) is an important part of advance care planning and can help minimise distress at a later stage.
