💡PACCS gives SWSPHN staff insights into importance of advance care planning🎉

SWSPHN welcomed the team from Palliative Aged Care Consultancy Service (PACCS) to mark National Advance Care Planning Week.

The PACCs team talked about the myths around advance care planning, its benefits, how to start discussions, the consequences of not having an advance care plan and more.

SWSPHN is commissioning PACCS to deliver similar workshops in community settings across our region🤝

The workshops are run by specially trained staff who discuss with individuals why and how to plan for their future healthcare needs, help them complete an advance care plan and/or ensure the more formal advance care directive is completed and signed.

This year is already flying by and for many of us, those New Year’s resolutions are a distant memory✈️🧠
But your health shouldn’t be one of them.

When you’re at your next doctor’s appointment, a few simple steps can make all the difference:
1️⃣ Ask questions — no question is too small
2️⃣ Listen carefully and repeat things back to make sure you understand
3️⃣ Bring someone you trust for support if you need it

Taking an active role in your healthcare helps you make confident, informed decisions.
