As ACP ambassadors, we spend a lot of time talking about the hierarchy and substitute decision making and that inspired our fall online series. However knowing WHO is only the starting point and we are excited to be hosting our 3rd session solely on the WHAT, the actual conversation- What do we talk about? What are our priorities for living well? What is important to us??? And.... how do i get this conversation started? . Join our team for a whole session devoted to the conversation, with words of wisdom from a special guest - Dr Kathryn Mannix.

Advance Care Planning reimagined... "ACP should be focussed on what matters most to people, rather than the current emphasis on a narrow harm reduction of avoiding unwanted treatments" Great article that also emphasizes the importance of talking about social relationships, happiness, and well being.
