Healthcare decision day falls on 16th April every year, and is used to encourage conversations around, and the importance of, advance care decisions.
Healthcare Decision Day, held on 16th April every year, is an initiative designed to inspire, educate, and empower the public and healthcare providers about the importance of advance care planning.
We want to encourage you to begin or continue conversations about a person’s decisions as they age, in advance of when care is needed. Often care is something that is only researched when it is needed, leading to decisions needing to be made quickly. However, planning, or opening the conversation in advance, provides many benefits.
In summary, planning care decisions in advance empowers individuals to make informed decisions, maintain control, and ensure they receive the support and assistance they need as they age. Start a conversation today with a loved one!
