#78 Advance Care Planning: Listening not box ticking with Professor Alison Leary

Conversations About Advance Care Planning

29-01-2024 • 27 mins

In this episode it is my pleasure to talk with Professor Alison Leary. Alison is a Senior Consultant at the World Health Organisation, Human Resources for Health, and the Chair of Healthcare & Workforce Modelling at London South Bank University.

It’s an important episode and based on Alison’s family experience. We talk the impact of receiving a form in the post to initiate Advance Care Planning, what it felt like and how valuable messages and nuances were lost.

We also acknowledge the importance of having conversations and listening to cues as the basis for person centred Advance Care Planning.
