Deciding right – a North East initiative for making care decisions in advance

When you become more poorly you can lose the ability to make choices about how you wish to be cared for and where.  Although difficult to think about, it can be helpful to have conversations with family, friends and professionals in advance so they understand what your wishes would be should you not be able to tell them at the time.  To help support with this we have a set of tools called Deciding right.  Information and support about Deciding right can be found here.
