Planning ahead when living with cancer - Scotland

This booklet is about ways you can plan ahead for your future care if you live in Scotland. Planning for your future care is also called anticipatory care planning or advance care planning. It is important in case you ever become unable to make decisions for yourself.

This booklet may help you:

- think about what is important to you and ways you can plan ahead

- talk about your plans with the people close to you, and health and social care professionals

- put your plans into action by writing a will, or making a power of attorney or advance directive.

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
