Future care planning masterclass toolkit

Future care planning is a person-centred, proactive approach to help people think and plan ahead for changes in their life, health and care. People should be offered opportunities to take part in care planning conversations when they are well or in stable health and have information about how it can help them tell health and care staff about who they are and what matters to them. Future care planning helps people communicate values, goals and preferences. It lets them talk about   realistic, value based options for their health and care in the near future and if things change. Future care plans can include information about the person and how they would like to be cared for as well as advice to guide future decisions from clinicians or other staff who know them. These plans are recorded, shared with other teams and services, and reviewed whenever that is needed.

Thinking ahead about ‘what matters to me’ is relevant at any age or stage of life. Future care planning is particularly helpful for:

  • people living with one or multiple long term health conditions
  • people living with disabilities and/or complex health and care needs
  • people whose life, health and wellbeing are changing or deteriorating due to physical and/or mental health problems
  • people who need palliative care or may be dying
  • babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions
  • carers supporting these people

A crucial aspect of the future care planning process is the conversations that take place with the person, their family and other people important to them about what matters most if their life, health or care change, and options available to support them.
