An advance statement is a written document that can set out your preferences for different areas of your life. For example, where youd like to live, or any care or support you want to receive. You can ask a professional to follow this document if you ever lose capacity to make these decisions yourself.
Does an advance decision need to be signed and witnessed? Yes, if youre choosing to refuse life-sustaining treatment. In this case, the advance decision must be written down, and both you and a witness must sign it. You must also include a statement that the advance decision applies even if your life is at risk.
Example ADRT document If you wish to refuse a treatment that is, or may be, life-sustaining (could keep you alive), you must state in the box: I refuse this treatment even if my life is at risk as a result. I wish to refuse antibiotics if I develop a chest infection, even if my life is at risk as a result.
Advance decision created before LPA If you create an LPA for health and care after creating an advance decision, the advance decision will be invalid if the attorney has been given authority to make decisions about the same treatment.
An advance directive is legally binding in the sense that a doctor, who gave a patient life-saving treatment against their wishes expressed in a directive, faces legal action.

Related Q&A to Advanced Directives Form

It must say exactly what treatment you want to refuse and in which situation. This is because you may want to refuse a treatment in one situation, but not in another. In these situations, an ADRT must also be signed: by you, or someone else who was with you at the time of it being written.
If you are writing an ADRT, your witness must sign it in your presence and should be someone who is independent and has nothing to gain as a consequence of the ADRT. If you cannot sign, you can direct someone to sign for you, in front of you and the witness.
For example, you could use it to say you dont wish to be resuscitated if you develop certain medical conditions in the future. You can only make an advance decision if: You have the capacity to make those decisions now. Youre an adult (aged 18 or over)
