Funded Activity Summary

Often when people are sick they cannot communicate their wishes regarding medical decisions. This research will explore, through surveys and interviews, how older general practice patients understand these decisions and how their understanding compares with that of their loved ones and their general practitioner. We aim to provide an insight into the meaning people give to these decisions thereby assisting those who wish to plan for their future medical care and their doctors.
