End of Life Care and Medical Support
Patients First Network (PFN) is a SPUC initiative that aims to help you navigate and prepare for medical care in the event that you are unable to give your consent to treatment, particularly regarding end-of-life care.
PFN can provide resources to help you to let doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers know how you expect to be treated in hospital if you are mentally incapacitated.
If you, or someone you care for, are likely to need serious medical treatment and could become be mentally incapacitated, making it difficult to communicate or give consent to doctors, PFN may be able to help. We can help you communicate to medical staff that you wish to receive appropriate medical treatment and care
Nothing should be done deliberately to end your life, nor should your healthcare team withdraw treatment with the deliberate intention of causing your death.
