Taking place from 6 to 7pm on Wednesday, 19 November, the session 'Future-proofing your care: Your voice, your wishes, your choices, your rights' will explore mental capacity and consent, making a lasting power of attorney and end of life care.

The webinar is open to everyone, whether you’re thinking about your own care, supporting a relative, or simply want to understand more about how key decisions are made.

Annette Martin, Named Nurse for Safeguarding Adults at KCHFT, said: “Planning ahead and understanding your rights can make a real difference – not just for you, but for the people you love. This session is about helping people feel confident to make choices and have their voices heard.”
