GERI Knowledge to Practice Series: Advance Care Planning (ACP) – A review of the evidence in Singapore (1 Dec 2021)
24 February 2022
Since its inception in 2011, the Advance Care Planning (ACP) programme in Singapore has seen thousands of conversations taking place, allowing individuals to make their wishes known and honoured.
Researchers shared the latest evidence during a "GERI Knowledge to Practice Series" aimed at helping participants understand how this information could be translated into practice to enhance the Programme, such as training of facilitators or community outreach.
Organised by GERI in collaboration with AIC, the webinar was attended by 132 participants from acute and community hospitals, nursing homes, general practitioners to senior care centres and social and community service organisations. 90% of respondents felt it was useful and the sharing could be translated into practice.
By continuing to understand and put into practice evidence from research, the ACP programme will continue to make a difference in the lives of many Singaporeans who are preparing for, or reaching an end of life stage.
