ReSPECT

The ReSPECT Process

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. (See ReSPECT UK)

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 relates to completion of a ReSPECT form 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. (ReSPECT Section 2)
  • Exploring what is important for this person and their overall goals of care. Is this towards life-prolonging treatments or a focus on quality of life and comfort? (ReSPECT Section 3)
  • 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. (ReSPECT Section 4)
  • Making and recording a shared decision and recommendation about CPR. (ReSPECT Section 4)

NHS Forth Valley in collaboration with NES has led development and implementation of ReSPECT in Scotland, including Digital ReSPECT. Teaching video available at: ReSPECT and the Deteriorating Patient
