Planning Ahead

This information was developed with local health professionals, carers, and people with lived experience.

Planning ahead helps you stay independent. It also makes things simpler for the people who care about you.

Keep key information in one place

• A list of your medicines.
• Important contact numbers, such as your GP, family and neighbours.
• Medical information, such as allergies, conditions and hospital numbers.

Share your care preferences

• Who you want to help make decisions.
• What helps you day to day.
• Where you would prefer to be cared for.
