Abstract

The advance care planning programme in Aotearoa New Zealand aims to empower all New Zealanders to participate in planning their future health and end-of-life care. Guided by the core values of our 2022-25 strategy, the programme has developed education, tools and resources to support consumers, their family and whānau and clinicians to optimise the opportunities for what matters most to a person to guide and inform care delivery throughout their life.
