Advance decision to refuse treatment
Definition
From:
CQC Glossary of terms used in the guidance for providers and managers
A decision to refuse specified medical treatment, made in advance by a person who has the mental capacity to do so. In this way, people can refuse medical treatment for a time in the future when they may lack the capacity to consent to, or refuse, that treatment.
