The updated guidance focuses on the importance of communication, personalised conversations, and doctors and patients making decisions about treatment and care together.
The guidance has been restructured and made it clearer, so it’s easier for doctors to apply in practice. In addition, more advice has been provided, including steps to follow when making decisions in different circumstances.
The guidance reflects the law, policy and healthcare settings in all four countries of the UK.
