Register for our upcoming webinar In Control to the Very End
The decisions about our lives continue to the very end. The legal frameworks to support advance care planning – people’s preferences, instructions and appointment of alternative decision makers place the agency of the person at the centre as far as practicable. What are the risks for the older person from a CALD background and how do we ensure that the person is heard, their rights are being upheld and their preferences are supported?
Two experienced practitioners in medicine and law and a clinical neuropsychologist consider the benefits and challenges of advance care planning with the older person including where there may be capacity challenges – and the way cultural and linguistic diversity is an important consideration for both process and outcomes of end-of-life decision making.
Hosted by Paul Zanatta, Manager of the Centre for Cultural Diversity in Ageing, the live webinar will also provide participants an opportunity to engage in a Question-and-Answer session with the speakers.
