Training the clinicians who can have life’s most difficult conversations

Some conversations in healthcare are too important to leave to chance.

When a vulnerable patient becomes seriously unwell, families, carers, paramedics, GPs, out-of-hours clinicians and hospital teams may all be forced to make urgent decisions under pressure.

Should this person go to hospital?

Should they have surgery?

Should they be treated at home?

These are not simple administrative questions. They become far harder to answer safely when the crisis has already begun.

This is not just advance care planning

Traditional advance care planning often focuses on general wishes.

My Emergency Plan® goes further by focusing on one of the most difficult parts of advance care planning: emergency decision-making before a crisis.

We trust experts to plan proactively before a surgery or chemotherapy.

Emergency care planning sits in an area of medicine where expertise matters. These are legally, ethically, and medically important decisions, and the people making them need to be trusted across the healthcare system.

My Emergency Plan® exists to train, license and quality assure experienced doctors to lead complex, scenario-specific emergency care planning conversations with vulnerable patients and families.
