ReSPECT stands for Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment. The ReSPECT process creates a summary of personalised recommendations for a person’s clinical care in a future emergency in which they do not have capacity to make or express choices. Such emergencies may include death or cardiac arrest, but are not limited to those events.

Organisations providing care and support services should be aware of ReSPECT and how to support people using our services to know about it, how to ask for the conversation with a healthcare professional and how to have their wishes recorded. This introductory session will cover:

  • Awareness and understanding of the ReSPECT process and documentation
  • Knowledge of how to apply this is in the workplace
  • Understanding of your role and how it contributes and complements the ReSPECT Process
