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 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.
