Future Care Planning (Previously ACP)

A new version of the Future Care Planning prompt cards for staff is published on TURAS website. 

Information on printed versions will be published here when available. 

Previous ACP cards are still available and in use. These cards were developed as pocket-size resources to support staff with clinical conversations around care planning, deterioration, dying and CPR. A print run was funded by PATCH.

Planning for Care

• REDMAP Framework

Future care planning involves the person and people who are close to them.

• ReSPECT – Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment
  Web page for For Health & Care Professionals. ‘ReSPECT is a process that creates personalised recommendations for a person’s clinical care in a future emergency in which they are unable to make or express choices. It provides health and care professionals responding to that emergency with a summary of recommendations to help them to make immediate decisions about that person’s care and treatment. ReSPECT can be complementary to a wider process of advance/anticipatory care planning.’
