We realise that this is a stressful time for everyone in the community – especially those in higher risk categories for coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Hopefully very few families will have to deal with serious illness related to the pandemic… but for those that do – it is important that a horrible situation isn’t made worse by misinformation or misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


I want to highlight a link to a very well written summary of what ‘Do not resuscitate’ or ‘Do not attempt CPR’ orders are (DNACPR). <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Dr Rachel Clarke makes some very important points in the piece – and it may well help some questions or concerns that you or your loved ones might have.
Do not resuscitate link. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, after reading this, you have questions you want to ask your doctor then please give us a call. We would be very happy to record any wishes you have related to planning for the future, and we might be able to clear up anything you are not sure of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be reassured that DNACPR orders will not be added to anyones notes without discussion, and that they do not affect in any way patient’s access to normal care – up to and including oxygen \/ ventilation \/ antibiotics etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
