ReSPECT

Using ReSPECT in future care planning

The ReSPECT process is relevant for anyone with whose health may deteriorate rapidly or gradually. ReSPECT creates personalised recommendations for a person’s clinical care and treatment in an emergency. If appropriate, recommendations about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be included. 

A crucial aspect of the ReSPECT process is the conversations that take place with the person and their family about what matters to them if their health changes, and options available to support them if they need emergency treatment and care. The discussion may lead to completion of a ReSPECT plan or electronic record but the main focus is the conversation:

  • Discussing and reaching a shared understanding of the person’s current health and how that could change in the foreseeable future. 
  • Exploring what is important for this person and their overall goals of care. 
  • Making and recording shared decisions about available, realistic treatments and care in line with what the person would like or does not want. Explaining sensitively about the benefits of making decisions in advance about treatments that would not work in this person’s situation. 
  • Making and recording a shared decision and recommendation about CPR. 

NHS Forth Valley in collaboration with NES has developed a teaching video available at: ReSPECT and the Deteriorating Patient
