Advance decision to refuse treatment
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
A decision you make about what medical treatment you would or would not want in the future, if you were unable to make decisions because of illness or because you lacked capacity to consent. Unlike an advance statement, it is legally binding in England and Wales. If you are thinking about making an advance decision, you should talk about this with your family and your GP.
