A recent study examined whether emergency admission to hospital is an acceptable time to start advance care planning for older people. Advance care planning was generally welcomed by the people interviewed. They saw benefits for their physical and emotional wellbeing, and in helping to prepare for the end of life. They also valued the expertise of clinicians in planning future care. The findings suggest that emergency admissions could serve as a trigger for advance care planning for people over 70 years.
