Welcome to the Advance Decisions to Refuse Treatment website. We know that facing end of life situations is the biggest and most difficult decisions a person can have to deal with, and it is our aim to help you make the best possible decision by giving you all the advice and information you might need.

We can advise you on who to seek professional input from, and what sort of legal preparations you need to make, with regard to living wills and power of attorney stipulations. Get in touch with our experts on Advance Decisions to Refuse Treatment for more information.

You may want to take the opportunity to think about what living with a serious illness might mean to you, your partner or your relatives, particularly if you become unable to make decisions for yourself. You may wish to record what your preferences and wishes for future care and treatment might be or you may simply choose to do nothing at all.
One way of making people aware of your wishes is by a process of advance care planning.
