Associate Prof Silvester is very well respected in his area of practice, and we are lucky to have the privilege of hearing him discuss how end of life care and advanced care planning can support compliance with Standard nine at the Managing the Deteriorating Patient Conference. The presentation will cover involving families, carers and patients in the preparation of advanced care plans, and ensuring the advanced care plans are documented in the patient’s clinical record.
