Background: Advance Care Planning (ACP) allows people the opportunity to plan for a time when they may lose capacity. The aim of this study was to determine the extent people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) were aware of ACP, existing plans they held and to explore their own views, as well as their relatives, on planning for the future. Methods: This was a sequential explanatory mixed methods study with a postal quantitative survey to establish awareness and engagement with planning for the future; and qualitative semi-structured interviews to explore the views of people with PD and their relatives on ACP and future plans. Results: 104 questionnaires were analyzed. 76% of respondents had not heard of ACP, while 69% expressed an interest in finding out more about ACP. 78% had a will, and 23% had appointed lasting power of attorneys. All interviewees acknowledged engaging in some aspect of planning. Plans were mostly practical as opposed to health-care related. Interviewees expressed a preference for ACP to be carried out by their PD team, at home, and at a time relevant to their condition. Conclusion: The awareness and understanding of ACP in people with PD is low. While there is desire to be better informed about ACP, this did not translate into desire to engage in ACP. Health professionals should identify people for whom ACP may serve a positive purpose, and proactively address ACP as a continuum with them, while ensuring awareness is raised about ACP, and there is access for who are interested.

Abstract Introduction NICE guideline recommends that all patients with Parkinson’s disease should be reviewed every 6–12 months and offered opportunities to discuss Advanced Care Planning (ACP) (1, 2). There is evidence demonstrating that Advanced Care Plans results in shorter length of stay in the last year of life and lower hospital costs (2, 3). A local baseline audit showed that Advanced Care Planning was not performed adequately. Methods A local baseline audit on community care home patients with Parkinsonism was completed in February 2018. A community-based Parkinson’s clinic was commenced in June 2018. Patients with parkinsonism who were unable to attend hospital clinics due to underlying frailty, neuropsychiatry and physical issues, were reviewed. At each visit, advice was provided on medicines management and there were discussions around Advance Care Planning. A re-audit was completed in August 2019. Patient’s Electronic Patient Records were scrutinised to evaluate progress and identify those who had died. Data was analysed using Microsoft Excel. Results The initiative contributed directly to end of life care in 7/17 patients. Parkinson’s disease medications were rationalised in 11/17 (64.70%). 14/17 (82.35%) had a community-based Do Not Resuscitate order completed. Conclusions The community Parkinson’s clinic service promoted Advance Care Planning in patients with Parkinsonism. This service provides specialist input in frail older people with Parkinsonism who were unable to attend hospital clinic, promoting end of life choices around where they wished to die and avoiding unnecessary hospitalisation in the final stages of their life.
