ACP Masterclass Toolkit

ACP is a person-centred, proactive approach to help people consider what is important to them and plan for their future care. Planning ahead can help people feel more in control and able to manage any changes in their health and wellbeing. People should be offered opportunities to take part in care planning and receive information about its benefits. ACP helps people communicate values, goals and preferences. It supports them to consider realistic options and plan for future changes in their health and care that can be recorded, shared and reviewed.

Thinking ahead about ‘what matters to me’ is relevant at any age or stage of life. ACP is particularly beneficial for those:

  • living with one or multiple long term health conditions
  • living with disabilities and/or complex health and care needs
  • whose health and wellbeing is changing or deteriorating due to physical and/or mental health problems
  • approaching the end of their life
  • children and young people with life-limiting conditions

A crucial aspect of the ACP 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. The Meaningful Conversations section of the Healthcare Improvement Scotland ACP toolkit highlights this. ACP prompt cards for professionals are available.
