Yep - when I organised an Advanced Care Plan for my husband, my GP was most impressed with the simplicity of it ... and asked for a copy.
Here it is - just change the name, the pre-existing ailments and anything else that is relevant ..... take it to your GP and get it signed off, leave a copy with them, keep a signed copy in your hand bag - put a signed copy in the 'emergency grab bag' in case an ambulance is called .... and maybe give it to your lawyer as well ...... and keep a spare signed copy or two at home.
It needs to be produced at hospitals when it could make the difference between your loved one being 'dosed up' against his will - or your wishes being carried out.
Just Do It .....
