ReSPECT Policy (P89)
This policy aims to clarify the ReSPECT process and takes into account the complex clinical considerations and ethical issues regarding both the making and the communication of decisions relating to limiting potentially life sustaining treatments, including CPR. The policy encourages health and social care professionals to engage in conversations with patients about advance care planning and to recognise our responsibility to do so. Application of this policy will assist our patients and the public to anticipate having these conversations as a routine part of their care and to recognise the importance of planning ahead for a future emergency.
