| Annotation | Peer education - the sharing of information with people of similar age and background - has been found to be a successful way of raising older people's awareness about health issues. This guide is the result of an 18-month project funded by the Health Foundation. It has been designed to raise awareness about advance care planning - that is, possible future health care options, particularly at the end of life, and expressing preferences. It is intended as a preliminary guide, and its three sections cover: legal and ethical issues; caring and coping; and loss and bereavement. The guide includes case studies, and is designed to be read and discussed in small groups along the lines of workshops, held in Sheffield which is how this project began. (RH). |
