My Wishes is a patient-held document, which allows patients to plan and write down their preferences and wishes to inform family, friends and healthcare professionals about what matters most to them should they become less well. This can help patients to feel more in control and reassured that their wishes will guide decisions made by those caring for them.
My Wishes is available in different formats, so you can keep a digital or paper copy. The options on how to access My Wishes are as follows:
- Patient portal – as a patient at Bredon Hill Surgery you can complete a digital copy of My Wishes in the new patient portal, which you can share digitally with people in your circle of care.
