Summary
Advance care planning (ACP) is the process through which a patient can have an input into the direction of their own medical care in case they lose their ability to make medical decisions at a later time. This research will initially explore the patient, their carers, their family and their General Practitioner's conceptualise and view as the aim of ACP . These findings will then be used to guide the development and testing of a more patient-centered approach to ACP.
