General ACP Facilitator Course
Enrol now in this Primary Care Coordinator Preparatory Course to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for promoting preventive and chronic disease management in primary care setting.
Overview
Advanced Care Planning (ACP) in Singapore is a vital process that empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their future healthcare. ACP involves discussions about personal values, beliefs, and preferences for medical care, ensuring that one’s wishes are respected even when they are unable to communicate. The program offers comprehensive guidance on initiating ACP conversations, understanding legal implications, and documenting care preferences. We aim to support individuals and their families in making thoughtful and informed choices, fostering peace of mind and ensuring dignity in healthcare decisions.
Learning Objectives
Participants will learn about the background and significance of ACP in Singapore, develop proficiency in facilitating general ACP discussions, and gain expertise in effectively communicating and documenting patients’ healthcare preferences. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to ensure that patients’ values and wishes are respected, promoting patient-centred care and informed healthcare decision-making.
