Developing an Emergency Care Plan for the Person you care for

Planning for peace of mind.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were unwell and could not keep up your caring role?

Do you have a lot of important information about the person you care for all in your head?

About this event

This 90 minute workshop is designed to help you consider and document what needs to be done to prepare for an emergency, when you are not able to care for others, as you usually would. This workshop will Include the following:

• Why it is important to have an emergency care plan

• What kind of emergencies to plan for

• Who might be able to help in an emergency

• What key information needs to be documented in an emergency care plan

• Practice working through an emergency care plan template.

Navigating an emergency can be very daunting. During this workshop, we will work through a plan, to help you plan ahead and hopefully keep peace of mind. This is an introduction to emergency care planning.

Please note

This workshop will not cover advanced care planning (Advanced care planning is a proactive process that helps individuals prepare for future healthcare decisions, ensuring their wishes are respected if they become unable to communicate them). The focus of this workshop is how to provide continuity of care should something unexpected happen to you.
