Preparing for the Final Journey: Advanced Care Planning and End-of-Life Care from a Global Perspective - Online Course

Limited decision-making capacity in end-of-life patients affects their abilities to express their preferences in medical decisions. Advance care planning (ACP) is a process of communication that enables individuals to consider those decisions ahead of time. This webinar provides an overview of ACP and end-of-life care and how these topics can be applied to nursing around the globe.

This course will retire after 6th December 2024.
