Advance Care Plan Document 

The latest version of the Advance Care Plan for Lincolnshire.

SPICT - 4 ALL

Caregivers and family members can often see that a person is getting less well with one or more health problems. Making plans for care now and in the future is important.
It can be difficult to know when to ask for more help and support or how to talk about this.
SPICT-4ALL uses non-medical words but is similar to the SPICT for health professionals. You can use it to help you ask about more help from a doctor, a nurse or another professional.
You may be the person who knows what is important, what is needed and what could help.

What’s important to me: message in a bottle.

Lions Message in a bottle – Internationally recognised. There are stickers to identify someone has a bottle in the fridge supplied with each bottle.

It is the PERSON'S document – not the professional's.

• Although there is guidance on the form the person can add, draw, highlight attach whatever they want people to know in an emergency.
• It needs to be completed in English so the person reading it in an emergency can understand “what’s important”.

The neighbourhood Teams can support those who can’t complete the form themselves.
