An interprofessional sub-working group commissioned by the national working group ACP has produced a brochure to strengthen ACP in retirement and nursing homes. It serves as a practical guide to help professionals implement ACP in this setting. The brochure is intended for all professionals working in long-term inpatient care institutions, in particular nurses, doctors and ACP consultants. The aim is to ensure that ACP is understood and established in the daily work of nursing homes, for the benefit of residents. The brochure is available in French, German and Italian in PDF format or in paper form.
