Advance CPR decision making in the hospital setting: Teaching package

The Advance CPR decision-making in the hospital setting teaching package consists of a suite of videos and a Facilitator’s Guide. The teaching package aims to:
  • Support clinicians and medical students to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to initiate and engage in patient-centred conversations about CPR decision-making, particularly for those patients who have progressive deteriorating illness and are unlikely to do well with CPR;
  • Ensure that patients are actively involved in determining their goals of care and preferences for appropriate intervention and treatment, in the event of their deterioration;
  • Influence system-wide change in end-of-life decision-making and care; and
  • Encourage reflection and critical thinking.

The teaching package is for use by clinicians to stimulate discussion and sharing of experiences. It is intended to be used flexibly, according to the audience’s experience, needs and time available.

Supporting resources, including Powerpoint slides and workshop handouts, aim to optimise the learning experience.
