Abstract | Background The aim of this project was to increase the proportion of patients with a terminal illness completing an ACD. A secondary outcome was to measure the impact of ACDs on hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in the last 6 months of life. This multifaceted project comprised (1) education for health professionals and the public; (2) individual support for patients on request; (3) development of online resources for health professionals and the general public; and (4) monthly team meetings. Method Written consent was required for patients to participate, including being contacted by the project team and accessing their medical records. Results Conclusion |
